Welcome to our beautiful seaside town with a thousand and one therapeutic benefits, with its iodine air and saltwater bathing in the Atlantic Ocean and its invigorating waves.
Les Sables d'Olonne has always had a reputation for being a very popular tourist resort, but it also has a large elderly population, for a number of reasons:
- The first is, of course, the well-being of living here from day to day: sea bathing, fresh air, nature for walks, etc.
- The second is that it's inevitably easier to live in Les Sables d'Olonne all year round as a homeowner when you've saved your whole life; property prices there, as in many other pretty seaside resorts, are very high.
- The third is the installation of a thalassotherapy centre near the Puit d'Enfer and, more recently, a spa in a hotel like Le Calme des Pins (an old building in the residential area of Les Présidents, with a charm all of its own).
Today, the city's political will is to move away from "tourism only" and make it a city that offers a multitude of reasons to feel good all year round, but given that one cannot exist without the other, we are witnessing unprecedented growth in this conurbation.
In conclusion, whether you're coming for the weekend, on holiday or just passing through for professional reasons, or even as a resident, going to a hotel spa guarantees you a moment of total escape, an emotional respite and all this in Les Sables d'Olonne.
