Bagnoles de L’Orne is quite simply best described as the ‘Jewel in the Crown of Normandy.’ and is absolutely
beautiful.
Set deep in the heart of The National Park of Normandy Maine this exceptional spa town originally
developed and prospered from its use and exploitation of the natural spring waters which are heralded as possessing immense
therapeutic powers. There is an enchanting legend which tells how the waters first revealed, by chance, their healing
capabilities.
As you walk past the shops you will be amazed by the abundance of hanging baskets and planters that compliment this
delightful place. Listen out for the 'singing' lamposts.
Street bars and cafes 'spill' out on to the streets and at night the Casino is lit by a display of coloured lights which
reflect from the lake……did I mention that we have a lake?....with fountains?
Although the economy of the town still relies heavily on the waters with ‘Curistes’ (sounds like tourists!) making their way from all over France, and beyond, to take the cure the town has much more to offer by way of entertainment and more and more ‘normal’ tourists are discovering this enchanting town for more and more reasons. We have yet to meet someone who hasn’t been impressed with their visit to Bagnoles de L’Orne.
