Located in the south-east of Normandy, in the heart of the forest of the Normandy-Maine Regional Natural Park, this tourist spa is famous among curists and holidaymakers for its calm and its bucolic setting inviting to stroll.
Bagnoles de l'Orne, a renowned water city, is one of those destinations that experienced a remarkable boom between the 19th and 20th centuries. The sumptuous villas of its Belle Époque district still testify today to the prosperity of the commune : located in the middle of the forest, the Grand Domaine is thus made of Art Deco inspired villas, bow-windows worthy of the most beautiful romantic films, balconies, canopies, imposing roofs and shimmering colours. Its town hall is one of the most beautiful : built in 1855, this imposing castle is absolutely magnificent. Built in the middle of an 18-hectare park, it is renowned for hosting no less than 170 botanical species, from Chinese bonsai to giant redwood, including Lebanese cedars, apple trees and Canadian maples. If you like flowery visits, take the direction of the "Jardin Reculé" : intimate, romantic and sophisticated, this garden sees many flowers and centenary trees blooming, in the middle of which you will adore to stroll for a country parenthesis.
An attractive destination offering a wide range of activities, Bagnoles de l'Orne is resolutely refined : its large hotel, its lakeside casino, its forests, its river and its lake are ideal for multiple hikes, on horseback, on foot or by bicycle. In all, more than 250 kilometres of footpaths cross the mysterious Andean forest : in the heart of the Normandy-Maine Regional Natural Park, around the Grand Domaine, this vast forest of 7,000 hectares known for the many legends that surround it is the lair of hikers and mushroom gatherers.
At Bagnoles de l'Orne, there is no shortage of outdoor sports activities : depending on your desires, you can play tennis, golf, archery, horse riding, swimming in the pool, Nordic walking, cycling, pedal-boating or even tree climbing. After this busy program, what could be better than relaxing breaks to clear your mind and make the most of your vacation? The thermal baths of the city, "B'O Thermes" welcome every year many curists: source of benefits for hundreds of years, the mineral water of Bagnoles de l'Orne is famous for its therapeutic gifts in the treatment of phlebitis and osteoarthritis, but also in rheumatology and gynecology. In the "B'O Spa Thermal" and "Spa du Béryl" spas, you will be able to indulge in moments of well-being in the heart of cosy and cosy cabins during massages, scrubs, apple wraps and relaxing baths, perfect to let go and relieve tension from the body from head to toe.
Finally, if there is a region where gastronomy is like no other, it is Normandy and Bagnoles de l'Orne is no exception to the rule, regaling many epicurean holidaymakers every year. Thus, local forest mushrooms, calvados, pommeau, cider, perry, macaroons, tripe and cheeses of character will be in the spotlight during your lunches at Bagnoles de l'Orne.

Good plan, to know the Poiré "Bagnoles de Pom'" well indicated and not far from Bagnoles de l'Orme. You like horses, go and see the Michaudière. "La ferme du Cheval de trait" and visit the castle of Lassay.

Coming back to Paris (or like us to Orléans): the old town of Le Mans is magnificent, surprising by the density and quality of its old houses (the Carré Plantagenêt).

Restaurants for all budgets, surprised that the catering "hotels" have more than affordable rates and excellent quality. It must be abused. The only downside, but uncontrollable, was the period of the great heat wave that prevented us from following our program...
