Nestled in the serene foothills of the south of France, the small, picturesque town of Avène is synonymous with its thermal spring water, revered for centuries for its healing properties. The spring's discovery dates back to 1736, when a local horse with alopecia was cured after rolling in the water daily. The spring's therapeutic reputation spread across continents; after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, water was shipped to aid burn victims. Today, more than 150 clinical and pharmacological studies attest to its effectiveness.
The thermal waters experience
People from around the world travel to Avène-les-Bains to experience the water's therapeutic benefits, and the thermal spring has been transformed into a vast hydrotherapy centre, owned by Pierre Fabre Laboratories.
