Enter the fascinating atmosphere of the first thermal baths in Roman times.

2 000 ans de thermalisme !
Dans ces grottes appréciées depuis le 1er siècle par les Romains, vous passerez de la salle tiède (tepidarium) à la salle chaude (caldarium) où l'on peut encore voir 2 baignoires parfaitement conservées.
Dans les galeries piquetées de stalactites, découvrez la piscine, les cuves des bains aux eaux chaudes, minéralisées et riches en gaz carbonique.
