Places to visit

Avène is a much sought-after destination for a spa holiday. The quality of its waters is recognized in treatments for dermatological problems such as eczema or for scars or burns. Avène offers up-to-date equipment and waters of an exceptional quality, allowing it to be certified as a spa-town, dedicated specifically to dermatological problems. A wide variety of treatments is available to patients (spraying, showers, under-water massages, hydroheliotherapy) as well as different baths to firm up your body.

Avène has been recognised as a spa-resort since the 19th century, but you will also find Roman remains, testifying to a far more ancient occupation of this site. Avène also offers an unspoiled natural site around the lake of Avène, in the forests of the Cévennes region and in the regional nature park of the Haut Languedoc.
