French spa tourism is at a pivotal moment: Balaruc-les-Bains has mobilized against the threat of cures being removed from reimbursement, while Vichy sees its thermal heart revived through the Bains les Dômes construction project. These two files sum up the tension between tradition and renewal that runs through the entire sector.
On the operator side, France Thermes is benefiting from Vichy's revival, while ValVital and Chaîne Thermale du Soleil remain cited as major players in analyses of short stays and spas. France Thalasso is entering a health and wellness tourism that has been placed back at the center of industry debates. Les Grands Thermes de Bagnères-de-Bigorre is opening its doors with immersion days to introduce the cure to the general public, and Thermes de Cransac is taking advantage of the peak season in September and October. Aqui O Thermes, which presented its strategy in Paris, illustrates a sector seeking to be heard beyond its regional territories.
Taken together, these developments show a sector that must reconcile heritage and appeal for new generations, balancing the defense of reimbursement with the modernization of its offering.
