A remarkable comeback.
After more than 2 years of renovation works and 14.9 million euros invested (of which, 200K came from the Departmental Council of Savoie), the Brides-les-Bains Thermal Baths are back to full force.
Brides-les-Bains is the number one thermal resort for slimming and treating rheumatism in France. Two major offers are available: state-funded 18-day thermal cures and access to Brides-les-Bains’ Grand Spa Thermal, which offers short slimming and wellness cures.
In the heart of the village, the Grand Spa Thermal has just been enhanced with a 600m2 bathing area featuring a 25m swimming lane, an 18m leisure pool with 2 Jacuzzis, 2 bubble beds, underwater jets, 6 swan-neck waterfalls, and all located underneath 2,700m2 of treatment rooms and slimming activities. This makes it one of the largest thermal spas in France. The slimming programmes have been redesigned to include a holistic dimension, including mindful breathing and yoga. Try the aqua-fitness pool, which has 5 machines and 3 accessories: aquaback, aquapullpress, aquarotation, aquabike and aquadip.
There have also been some new introductions on the nutritional side, with a 600m2 space that has doubled in size and includes 1 conference room seating 200, 1 kitchen for cooking workshops, and 1 room for therapeutic workshops. The Nutrition Centre offers guidance for healthy eating, with 1 nutritional consultation, 1 assessment and 1 workshop of your choice all included in the slimming packages.
Balneology of the future
In this resort, where 62% of visitors are hoping to lose weight and cure rheumatism, Brides ensures their stay is as comfortable as possible by bringing together almost all of the treatments and activities in one unit.
The new facility now includes two thermal pools, a space dedicated to poultices, local hand/foot sterilisers and, in Salins-les-Thermes, one of the largest pain-relieving pools in France (in March 2018 it will open 8 new running-water bath cabins). A total of 2,400m2 for state-funded cures.
One of the new additions for 2018 is the “Ideal Programme”, which combines four effective factors to fight excess weight: appetite-suppressant drinks, thermal treatments, nutritional advice and suitable physical exercise. The programme boasts a multidisciplinary team of experts comprised of a dietician, sports trainer, physiotherapist and hydrotherapist, who all lend an attentive ear and give personalised advice.
