Thalassotherapy, Balneotherapy and Spa

Many thalassotherapy centres - or sea water health spas - have sprung up on the sunny Languedoc-Roussillon coast.

Thalassotherapy, Balneotherapy, South France

Seawater and tapwater therapy

The healing properties of sea water, seaweed and mud baths, together with medical know-how, provide a real answer to the stresses and allergies caused by modern living. The region’s spas offer courses of treatment and personalised programmes using top notch facilities, from sea water bathing pools and hot baths to high pressure showers... While thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy are based on specific types of water, balneotherapy offers similar types of treatments using tap water (‘eau de ville’).
