Le Mont-Dore: one of the biggest spas in the Auvergne!

Le Mont-Dore is one of the most famous spas, but also one of the oldest. Indeed, the first thermal baths date back to Celtic times. The Palace Sarciron, now a private residence, stands opposite the thermal baths and is one of the last silent witnesses to Le Mont-Dore's spa days. The benefits of its thermal waters, for respiratory and rheumatic conditions, are widely recognised, and visitors flock to the magnificent thermal baths, whose neo-Byzantine architecture is remarkable. As well as cures, the Le Mont-Dore spa also offers a whole range of wellbeing and fitness treatments, which can be extended to include moments of relaxation, rest, leisure and the many outdoor activities, both gentle and sporting, available in the resort. To make the most of the benefits the resort has to offer, come and stay in one of the Clévacances-labelled holiday rentals or self-catering cottages, whose facilities, comfort and warm welcome will guarantee you a much-appreciated cocooning experience. Come and recharge your batteries in one of the holiday rentals in Le Mont-Dore with the Clévacances label.

Volcanoes and lakes such as Lac de Guéry, Lac de Servière and Lac de Chambon are just a few of the treasures to be discovered on your walks and hikes during your stay. Go and visit Lac de Guéry, which is the highest lake in Auvergne and is located 9km from Le Mont-Dore towards the town of Clermont-Ferrand.
