La Roche-Posay

Nestled between Touraine and Poitou, the town of La Roche-Posay is marked by its thermal spa tradition. La Roche-Posay’s thermal waters have been recognised for their beneficial properties for skin conditions for over five centuries.
The spa town of La Roche-Posay reached its zenith at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Many people came to be treated with the water rich in selenium, silica and calcium for rheumatism and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Today the heritage left by the spa activity is significant with spas, hotels, casinos, baths, racecourse, villas. And the town is still an important centre for thermal skin treatments.
