Sextius Thermal Baths - history



An history about water ...

Since dawn of time, water has poured forth from Aix-en-Provence at a temperature near 34°.
The Salyens who, in the IIIth century BC occupied the top of the plateau of Entremont, already knew its benefits.
Pline cites Aix as being the town with hot waters (Aquae Calidae Salluviorum).
It is indeed an important thermal town as the recently discovered vestiges testify.
These hot waters, radioactive, oligometallic, hardly salted and mineralized, are used to treat vein troubles, rheumatism, some nervous troubles and weight problems.
In Aix, water also pours out in large quantity from the forty fountains of the old town built and embellished from Antiquity to nowadays.
