Located in the southern Vosges, Plombières-les-Bains charms visitors with the unspoiled atmosphere of its narrow streets, its rich heritage and the serenity of its terraced gardens. During your visit, remember to look up at the sky to admire the superb 18th century wrought ironwork that adorns the "city of a thousand balconies". But if many famous people have been seduced by this village, such as Voltaire, Beaumarchais, Louis XV and Alfred de Musset, it is above all thanks to its 27 springs whose temperatures vary between 57 and 84 degrees and which have made Plombières-les-bains a major spa resort! First exploited by the Romans, they attracted the attention of Napoleon III much later, who had unique thermal baths built there, still visible today. A true cathedral built in cut stone, they bear witness to the splendor of the Second Empire. copyright Morgane Production
