Essential Information for Your Stay

Where Are the Thermal Baths of Gréoux-les-Bains Located?

Located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, Gréoux-les-Bains enjoys a privileged setting within the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Writer Jean Giono aptly nicknamed it “the romantic oasis of the Verdon,” a description that perfectly matches the atmosphere of the place.

The establishment is managed by Chaîne Thermale du Soleil, the leading thermal medicine group in France, a guarantee of reliability and expertise recognized for over 70 years.

This thermal resort offers both approved medical cures and wellness stays, attracting a diverse audience in search of health and relaxation. The Gréoux-les-Bains thermal baths are therefore a benchmark for anyone looking to recharge and rejuvenate.

What is the History of the Gréoux-les-Bains Thermal Baths?

The history of Gréoux is closely tied to its beneficial waters. As early as Antiquity, the Romans had established baths here, the Nymphis Griselius, in honor of the nymphs of the springs. A stele left by a Roman noblewoman, Elia Faustina, attests to this early use.

The village is dominated by the imposing “Château des Templiers.” While its actual link to the Order remains a subject of debate among historians, its name alone is enough to fuel the imagination.

After a long period of neglect, the spa was revived in the 17th century and attracted notable figures such as Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon’s sister, which strengthened its reputation.

What Are the Benefits of a Cure at the Gréoux-les-Bains Thermal Baths?

The establishment is approved for two main therapeutic orientations: Rheumatology (RH) and Respiratory Tract conditions (RT). These specializations meet strong demand, with rheumatology accounting for nearly 70% of cures in France. The waters of Gréoux, rich in sulfates, calcium, and magnesium, are renowned for their properties:

• Analgesic and anti-inflammatory, thanks to sulfur, to relieve joint pain.
• Myorelaxant, helping with muscle relaxation.
• Healing and soothing for the skin and mucous membranes.

The treatments offered at the Gréoux-les-Bains thermal baths are varied and tailored. In rheumatology, you can benefit from thermal mud applications or the famous weightless Kaolin bath, a signature treatment that relieves the joints. For ENT conditions, techniques such as aerosol therapy or nasal irrigations use thermal gases for deep action. Spa-goers’ reviews highlight the effectiveness of the cures and the quality of the organization, with an average rating of 4.5/5.

How to Organize Your Cure at the Gréoux-les-Bains Thermal Baths?

Organizing a thermal cure may seem complex, but it takes place in just a few clear steps. Here is the process to follow to prepare your treatment period with complete peace of mind.

1. Your doctor’s prescription: this is the starting point. Your physician must complete a reimbursement request form, specifying the therapeutic orientation (Rheumatology, Respiratory Tract, or both).
2. Approval from your Health Insurance Fund: you must send this request to your fund (CPAM, MSA, etc.). Once the coverage approval has been received, you can move on to the next step.
3. Booking your cure: contact the reservation center of the Gréoux-les-Bains thermal baths directly at +33 (0)1 42 65 24 24 or via their website to schedule your treatment dates.
4. Booking your accommodation: at the same time, remember to reserve your lodging for the three-week stay. This is a key element for ensuring comfort during your period of rest.
5. Appointment with the thermal doctor: before starting your cure, a consultation with a doctor at the Gréoux-les-Bains spa resort is mandatory. They will establish your personalized treatment program for the 18 days. Make sure to schedule this appointment in advance. On the day, don’t forget to bring your health insurance card and your coverage approval.
