Superbe endroit pour se relaxer

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre moment là bas, les bains sont très beaux et de différentes températures ce qui permet de varier et de trouver la température qui nous convient le mieux. Et très calme donc idéal après une grosse randonnée pour se relaxer.

Moment magique!

Quel bonheur que de venir se détendre dans ces sources chaudes! Nous y avons passé 2h mais on pourrait presque y passer la journée! Il n’y avait pas beaucoup de monde (11h du matin), c’était très agréable. Un de ces moments détentes qu’on a trop tendance à négliger et qui sont pourtant nécessaires. Personnel accueillant et deal imbattable, je recommande!
