Hottest Spring in Europe! Nestling in the Remontalou Valley, this spa town hosts over thirty hot springs, used to heat houses and cure rheumatism for centuries. The hottest of them all is the Par spring – at 82 degrees C, it is the hottest in Europe. The Musée de la Géothermie et du Thermalisme hosts the Par Spring and a permanent exhibition about geothermal energy.

Like the other Health Spa towns in the Lot Valley, Chaudes-Aigues is growing in popularity with people's renewed interest in authentic Health Spas and the beneficial effects of treatments.
