Thalassotherapy in Provence

Enjoy a thalasso in Provence

The Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region has 11 thalassotherapy centres, all located in seaside towns. You can combine fitness, wellbeing and seaside tourism with all the pleasures of the coast and the beach.

Treatments :

- individual marine hydrotherapy treatments :

seaweed or sea mud wrap, hydromassage or bubble bath, jet shower, hydrojet, seawater ramp massage (affusion modelling)...

- individual "dry" treatments :

essential oil massage, pressotherapy, hydrojet, foot reflexology, cryotherapy......
