Try your hand at relaxation and complete release at the Luzéa spa and balneotherapy centre, suspended on the mountainside in the Hautes-Pyrénées. This spa combines neo-classical architecture with modern facilities, perpetuating its traditions dating back to the Second Empire, in a bright, green setting that’s perfect for a real moment of well-being.

Empress Eugénie, Napoleon III’s wife, is credited with launching the popularity of spa treatments in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, even though the virtues of its waters had been known here since Antiquity. The arrival of the imperial couple in the summer of 1859 triggered a number of works, starting with the spa establishment. Napoleon III also ordered the construction of the Route Thermale, which placed the village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur at a strategic crossroads in the Pyrenees.

In keeping with the long tradition of the area, the resort continues to offer thermal cures. But the spa, which dates back to the Second Empire, is now home to the Luzéa Balneotherapy Centre. Set on a terrace suspended from the mountainside, Luzéa overlooks the valley of light. The balneotherapy centre, with its mix of marble and glass, retains the memory of its prestigious visitors.

The spa area

At Luzéa, balneotherapy is practised in a relaxation area clad in white and marble, with clean lines, enhanced by the Pyrenean peaks peeking out from behind the large picture windows. The relaxation pool combines all the pleasures of 30° water: underwater massage jets, goosenecks, bubble bed and counter-current swimming.

The 34° Roman bath with its lumbar jets soothes the back. The Oriental hammam, with its circular shape, alternates between white Carrara marble and black Pyrenean marble. And for those who prefer dry heat, a sauna is also available.

At the exit, a fountain pours out ice for rubbing down, unless you prefer the thrill of the 10°C cold water corridor. The more inspired can take a rest in the warm marble room of the mensonger, overlooking the stream of the same name. From the bay window, you can watch this stream, which can swell rapidly and turn into a veritable torrent during summer storms. The two suspended jacuzzis also offer a breathtaking view of the lying stream.

The rest room

In the grandiose lounge, listed as a historic monument, the imperial era gives way to the contemporary. The majestic blue-grey marble peristyle sits alongside Philippe Starck armchairs and wooden deckchairs.

Through the immense glass wall, the mountains invade the space. Comfortably seated on a deckchair, you can relax in contemplation, with the soothing sensation of floating between earth and sky.

In an alcove, behind a tall column, you can admire the marble bathtub where Empress Eugénie took her waters. A vaulted gallery leads to the hydro-jet bathing cubicles, adorned with mosaics encrusted with precious stones.
