Propelled as an intense jet, it makes the body tingle, stimulates the circulation, massages away tension and bulges.

Can you feel this new youthfulness? Relaxing, stimulating, nourishing, water has all kinds of talents. Hydrotherapy uses these to make it a source of wellbeing for mind and body. Water used in this way has the exclusive gift of helping you get back your zest for life.
The Power of the Sea
Thalassotherapy makes the most of the sea’s resources. The water is drawn from the open sea and conveyed to the baths and showers, whether designed to calm or invigorate. Marine mud and seaweed are used in specific applications or for overall wrapping to produce revitalizing or slimming effects. And sand from the beaches has now been brought into the treatments for its exfoliating properties.
As you might expect, thalassotherapy centres are located at the seaside, and the benefits of the climate also contribute to getting you into shape. From the bracing air of the beaches of the Nord, to the gentleness of the shores of the Mediterranean, through the iodized and bracing air of the English Channel and the Atlantic: Welcome to the finest locations on the French coast.
