Lorraine’s spa towns provide twofold benefits – health and relaxation in high-quality natural surroundings. In Amnéville, the most recent of the spas, the water drawn from the natural spring 900m below ground level gushes out at temperatures of more than 41° C. The spring water in Saint-Eloy is known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and the resort is famous for its recreational amenities.
Specialising in the fight against stress and set in lush surroundings, Bains-les-Bains provides treatment for cardiovascular disease and rheumatism. Contrexéville, which aims to become the European capital of weight loss and healthy eating, acquired its reputation in the 18th Century and has retained it ever since.
