In the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, in the New-Aquitaine region, Salies-de-Béarn surprises as much as it seduces. Thermal, cultural and exotic, it is an absolutely perfect place for a relaxing holiday, far, far away from the great tourist destinations.
Known as the "City of Salt", Salies-de-Béarn is a spa resort well known to those taking the waters and holidaymakers looking for a break off the beaten track. Less than an hour from the beaches of the Basque Country, this city of character unfolds before the eyes of its curious visitors beautiful picturesque streets, beautifully flowered, dotted with half-timbered houses, 19th century hotels and stone houses with sloping roofs, called "coyote roofs". Its history is undeniably linked to its water, or rather its waters, since the commune is crossed by the Augas stream, the Saleys, the stream of Hope, the Arriou de Mondran, the streams of Beigmau, Pédescaus, Montségur, Laborde and Lastéulères. Take the time to get lost in the heart of the village, to discover its houses on stilts on the edge of Saleys, the Bayaà square and its beautiful Wild Boar fountain, not forgetting the famous Bayaà Crypt and the Salt Museum. Right in the heart of Salies-de-Béarn, in a magnificent 17th century house, this museum is a key stop on your journey to understand all about local history. Dedicated to the history of Salies-de-Béarn and its unfailing link with salt, it is a must not to be missed. But if there is one place you must see during your stay in Salies-de-Béarn, it is certainly the thermal district; with its magnificent Moorish-style thermal baths, its splendid Belle Époque residences, its Casino and its very chic public garden where a mini-golf course and an old kiosk are enthroned, this district is the pride and joy of the resort.
Finally, Salies-de-Béarn owes its fame to the salt springs that water its lands, beneficial springs that were already known in the 11th century. This is why many celebrities have one day benefited from the care provided in its thermal baths, such as Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Françoise Hardy, the Eiffel family or Marcel Proust. Recommended for rheumatism and gynaecological problems, the thermal waters of Salies-de-Béarn are rich in more than 26 minerals and trace elements. Numerous treatments are provided in the thermal centre, from bathing in the "Salt Cave" to aromatherapy treatments, including halotherapy, massages, clay modelling, hydromassage baths, seaweed wraps, aquabike, pilates classes, weight training, aquagym sessions... In short, everything to plunge you into the heart of a 100% well-being bubble.
