France Therme mosaique 04/2019

[teddybear]

One of the many thermes in France. This one took some effort to get in. We had no info about a possible entry point so we had to try several possibilities and hoped not to get seen. We first trigged an alarm when going through the building so we went out and waited what happened. But nothing happened and we knew now where this sensor was so we could avoid this area. The building had his heydays in the beginning of the century bus is in disuse for many years. Only the big hall seem to had some use later.. It was a nice location to wander through.

The architecture is really just stunning. Love all the little ornate pieces on the walls and ceiling.

WOW, that is lovely

Thanks for the replies. In those day"s they wanted it to look nice and posh. The baths were removed or were behind the closed doors.
The tiles were indeed very nice. But it was also very humid there because it was an very warm day and some of the (yellowish) water of the local spring was running over the floor.

This is an incredibly beautiful location! I love old baths anyway but this here is full of amazing architectural details. Well taken photos as well!

Sure,but I promised not to give this location away . We kept it silent for almost a year now. Only saw one other report from this place.
It was indeed an abandoned spa were you wouldn't expect it to be abandoned. I can't believe they wlil not (in the future) repurpose this place like they are doing with alla italia in Belgium..
