Take a Swim

Located on the edge of a quiet town, we find this beautiful abandoned thermal spa in France.

 

There has probably been a spa on this site that dates back to Roman times and was revived during the 1600s because of a novel referring to the quality of the water in the area.

 

The water here comes from six sources, is trapped under tectonic plates and contains a lot of sulfur and fluoride.

 

This spa was built during the mid-19th century and was a popular tourist destination.

 

In the 1980s, the spa went down and finally closed. It has since been abandoned.
