Vals-les-Bains, a town of full health

In Vals-les-Bains, wellness isn't a trendy concept; it's a long-standing reality. For over 150 years, this spa resort has welcomed spa guests and visitors seeking rejuvenation. Water is everywhere here: it heals, it relaxes, it refreshes. And sometimes it overflows!

Between the historic thermal baths and the Sequoia Redwood Spa, the wellness offering is comprehensive, modern, and accessible to all. But in Vals, you also feel good thanks to the nature that surrounds the town. Mountains, forests, shaded trails, viewpoints over the valleys... You can breathe deeply, walk, stop, and observe. It's not just a place of care; it's a true haven for relaxing and reconnecting. The pace slows down, tensions melt away, and you simply feel better.

And in Ardèche, well-being often rhymes with good food, there is no shortage of good places for gourmets; you can find in particular the Béatrix ice cream parlor , the Cerdini chocolate shop , the Laurent pastry shop … and very good restaurants.

As soon as you step through the doors of the Sequoia Redwood Spa , you'll feel yourself letting go. Nestled in a verdant setting, right next to the thermal park of Vals-les-Bains, this spa is a true haven for those seeking respite. The atmosphere is gentle, hushed, and bathed in natural light. Here, everything invites you to slow down: the enveloping warmth of the whirlpool baths, the soothing steam of the hammam, the calming scents of essential oils. You can enjoy the relaxation areas overlooking the forest, listen to the silence, and breathe deeply. Whether you're alone, with a partner, or in a small group, the experience is designed to reconnect body and mind. It's a timeless moment, to be lived in harmony with the rhythm of nature in the Ardèche region.

In Vals-les-Bains, nature invites itself into the city, and it takes its time. The parks are true living spaces, calm and green, where it's pleasant to stroll.
Le Casino Park is one of the most emblematic: paths lined with century-old trees, fountains, shaded terraces... An elegant setting, ideal for a break or a quiet stroll.
Right next to it, the Intermittent Park is the scene of a small natural miracle: a fountain gushes forth twice a day, an astonishing scene that visitors adore. Along the Volane, a small river that crosses the town, you will discover a peaceful promenade, punctuated by benches and pretty footbridges. And for lovers of remarkable trees, the gigantic hundred-year-old sequoias watch over the landscape. These parks are a bit like the green lungs of Vals: you walk there, you sit there, you find yourself there... always with that feeling of calm that is specific to the town.

Here, water has been healing for over a century. The thermal spa treatments at Vals-les-Bains are renowned for their benefits, particularly for digestive and metabolic problems and rheumatology. But beyond the treatment, it's also a break from everyday life: you take your time, you breathe better, you sleep better. And between two sessions, you discover the narrow streets, the landscapes... and a certain Ardèche art of living.
