Beyond its miles of fine sandy beaches, its endless pine forests, its picturesque houses, charming villages, traditional festivals, and gastronomy, the Les Landes department is also a prime destination for thermal cures. Focus on thermalism in Les Landes, a practice combining relaxation and wellness that dates back to Antiquity. <\/p>\n
Regardless of the season, thermalism in Les Landes is a dynamic sector whose financial benefits are far from negligible. In 2015, over 80 million euros flowed into the coffers of the department’s care centers, and more than half of this amount helped boost the local economy (57 million). Indeed, thermalism acts as a lever to promote the growth of other activities directly or indirectly related to tourism, such as hotels, restaurants, culture, commerce, and transport. <\/p>\n
Thermalism means contact with nature. And in this area, the Les Landes department excels. From the Silver Coast to the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, Les Landes is home to vast protected natural areas and ecosystems as unique as they are fragile. The commitment of local authorities to environmental protection, particularly that of the soils from which the thermal waters originate, is another decisive factor contributing to the success of thermalism in Les Landes. The Les Landes forest, crisscrossed by numerous cycle paths, and the ocean beaches are idyllic places to recharge, get a change of scenery, and escape. And it is precisely these feelings that spa-goers come to seek during their stay. The setting and the pleasant year-round climate largely explain why over 13% of spa-goers chose to enjoy their wellness cure in Les Landes in 2017 (nearly 78,000 people). <\/p>\n
With the scene naturally set, it is still necessary to offer services that meet expectations. To achieve this, the Les Landes department has equipped itself with modern, quality infrastructure and offers tailor-made treatments. Each thermal spa specializes in particular conditions such as rheumatic diseases and respiratory ailments. The benefits of the waters from renowned resorts like the Dax thermal baths have been known since Antiquity. They attract French spa-goers from all over the country, as well as thousands of foreigners who take advantage of their thermal stay to discover the Les Landes coast, its cultural heritage, and local produce. The quality of the thermal waters, rich in minerals and trace elements, has long been proven. Sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, essential oil massage, or a specific thermal cure prescribed by their doctor: each spa-goer is free to choose their reasons for indulging in thermalism in Les Landes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
