Aix-les-Bains, France: A Timeless Tradition of Relaxation and Modesty (circa 1910s) This photograph transports us back in time to the elegant spa town of Aix-les-Bains, France, during the 1910s. The image showcases a team of porters skillfully carrying sedan chairs, or covered litters, for under-dressed spa visitors. The chairs, adorned with intricate designs and ornate decorations, were a common mode of transportation for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters. The sedan chairs, which were often pulled by two porters, offered a level of privacy and discretion for visitors who wished to maintain their modesty while being transported between the various bathing facilities. The chairs featured viewing holes, allowing the passengers to enjoy the picturesque surroundings of the town while being shielded from prying eyes. Aix-les-Bains, renowned for its thermal springs, has a rich history dating back to Roman times. The town's reputation for healing waters attracted royalty and nobility, as well as the common folk, seeking relief from various ailments. The sedan chairs were an essential part of the spa experience, providing both comfort and privacy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the luxurious past of Aix-les-Bains, where visitors could indulge in the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters while maintaining their dignity and privacy.
