The establishment is located in a unique and soothing setting: the former limestone quarries of Heurtebise: a unique troglodytic setting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonzac thermal spring water was discovered in 1979 during exploratory drilling, and the thermal baths opened in 1985. The water is rich in minerals and trace elements (sulphur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, etc.) and comes from a water table more than 1,850 metres deep. These hot waters, known as 'hyperthermal' (62\u00b0C at source), are rich in minerals and trace elements (sulphur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, etc.). What makes them special: they have anti-inflammatory, healing and soothing properties.<br>The establishment is on a single level. It attracts a varied clientele, from active adults seeking treatment for specific infections to the elderly suffering from chronic illnesses. There is a choice of subsidised thermal cures (3 weeks) and mini-cures (6 to 12 days) adapted to a range of pathologies.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Thermes-de-Jonzac_bain-de-kaolin-\u00a9-Xavier-Boymond-1K-JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"Charente-Maritime.

With a thermal water bath, jet shower, thermal mud applications and underwater massages.<br>Within a few days, patients will notice a reduction in inflammation and pain and an improvement in mobility.<br>In the case of chronic respiratory problems (chronic sinusitis, bronchitis, mild asthma, ENT infection), this is a cure for the respiratory tract. The aim is to cleanse the mucous membranes and reduce inflammation. Treatments include thermal steam inhalation, gargling, nasal douches and thermal gas inhalation.<br>Mini-cures (stays of between 6 and 12 days) are ideal for a rapid effect. You can choose 'joints and rheumatology' (for muscle and joint pain), 'light legs' (for phlebology and circulation), or 'respiratory tracts and immunity' (to boost natural defences).

Thermes de Saujon.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A little history... It all began in 1860 with Dr Louis Dubois, who discovered the soothing properties of Saujon water, rich in trace elements and with recognised sedative properties. This was the first health centre in Saujon, located next to the family home. Twenty years later, his son Stanislas Dubois discovered the source of the Puits Doux de Saujon, at a depth of 200 metres. Its bicarbonate and ferruginous water contains magnesium and lithium, which have soothing properties. In February 1888, the spa was given a facelift, with extensive grounds, gardens and a neoclassical Roman temple fa\u00e7ade. It was also renamed \"Hippocrate\". Tourists flocked.<br>From 1901 onwards, the spa built chalets and a small hotel, the Villa du Parc, which later became a clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Saujon spa treats psychosomatic disorders, including anxiety, depression, insomnia and fibromyalgia. There is also a residence for those taking the waters, a swimming pool and the Philae spa.<br>It's a treatment centre that's unique in France, with a 3-week spa treatment under agreement, as well as shorter stays such as the \u00c9cole Thermale du Stress, an intensive programme combining treatments and behavioural therapies.<br>How do you get the most out of these treatments? Saujon water, drawn at a temperature of around 37\u00b0C, is used in a variety of ways: thermal baths with baths and showers to relax muscles and nerves, bubble baths to improve blood circulation, massages and body treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Thermes-de-Saujon_Soin-1-\u00a9-Thermes-de-Saujon-1K-JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"Charente-Maritime.

And I forgot to mention the Transbordeur Bridge, an engineering treasure that allows you to cross the Charente without hindering navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Rochefort treasure is the thermal baths, which date back to the 19th century. A number of boreholes were drilled under Napoleon I to find drinking water. Miraculously, in 1866, an aquifer was discovered at a depth of 816 metres. Water at over 40\u00b0C with mineral properties worthy of thermal use. At the end of the 19th century, exploitation of the \"Source de l'Empereur\" was interrupted for 70 years... until 1956, when the Thermes de Rochefort were inaugurated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diverses_orientations_therapeutiques\"><\/span>Various therapeutic approaches&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Thermes-de-Rochefort_Couloir-de-marche-2-\u00a9-Nadege-Rousseau-1K-JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"Charente-Maritime.

Not forgetting dermatology: treatment for psoriasis, eczema, acne, etc. and oral and lingual mucous membrane disorders (gingivitis, mouth ulcers, etc.).<br>Naively, I wonder how all this can be cured! It says in the Bible: \"Believe and you will be healed\"... \"That's a bit like it... plus medical treatment! It's a bit like that... plus medical treatment\", says the director of the establishment, mockingly.<br>Proof of this dynamic approach is provided by this overview of the main treatments offered:<br>- My neighbour is a little reluctant to use the walking lane in the swimming pool. Overcoming her hesitation, I move into a pool of thermal water at 29\u00b0C and walk on pebbles. Walking has a mechanical pressure effect on venous and lymphatic stasis, helping to speed up the return circulation. 9 short laps and then off we go. I'm in.<br>This is followed by rheumatology treatment with an individual bath with an immersion shower: the bath is equipped with multiple immersed jets diffusing pressurised thermal water. The temperature of the bath, the pressure of the jets and the frequency of the cycles are determined by the prescribing doctor. I feel like I've been transported to another world, I'm floating but I'm fine. Painkillers, muscle relaxants and vasodilators, I'm told.
