EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Pyrenees-Atlantiques region, on the historic border between France and Spain, lies the enchanting village of Laruns and its renowned Spa of Eaux-Chaudes. This charming 19th-century photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1860s when the therapeutic properties of the mineral-rich waters drew visitors from far and wide. The Spa of Eaux-Chaudes, meaning 'warm waters' in French, has a rich and fascinating history. The village, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque mountains, has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries due to the belief in the healing powers of the natural hot springs. The waters, which emerge from deep within the earth at a temperature of around 57 degrees Celsius, are believed to have therapeutic benefits for various ailments, including rheumatism and skin conditions. The photograph shows the elegant spa buildings, with their ornate facades and intricate details, which were constructed during the height of the spa's popularity. Visitors would come to Laruns to enjoy the therapeutic baths, relax in the soothing waters, and take in the breathtaking views of the Pyrenees. The village's unique location on the border between France and Spain added to its allure, with many travelers taking the opportunity to explore both countries during their stay. Today, the Spa of Eaux-Chaudes remains a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The historic buildings have been lovingly restored, and the natural hot springs continue to draw visitors from around the world. As you stand at the edge of the pools, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Pyrenees, it's easy to see why this enchanting place has captivated travelers for over a century.
