Nature and well-being in the Drôme Provençale
Perched high above a lavender-blanketed plain, the houses of Montbrun-les-Bains shelter the ruins of an ancient medieval castle. Winding their way from fountain to fountain, the cobbled streets lead down to the lower part of the village, home to a recently renovated spa that has been offering the restorative benefits of an ancient spring for the past twenty years.
Heritage and Wellbeing in Drôme Provençale
Montbrun-les-Bains brilliantly combines its medieval heritage with the modernity of its spa centre, a haven of wellbeing in the heart of the Provençal Baronnies. Fancy a historic and relaxing break?

Treat yourself to a ‘Natural Wellbeing Day’
Every first Sunday in September, Montbrun-les-Bains organises a day centred on wellbeing, plants and respect for the environment. A large market, a relaxation area, the thermal spa open to the public and a host of activities, all with a single aim: to treat yourself!
Take in the view of Mont Ventoux
You won’t need to go to great lengths to treat yourself to this reward! The walk around the “Citadelle” (named after the mountain facing the village) is an easy 4.1 km walk (about an hour’s walk) that will treat you to a breathtaking view of the “Giant of Provence”.
Learn how to make your own soap
Step into the shoes of a soap-maker! Workshops are held regularly by the Aroma‘Plantes distillery, both for children (on selected Tuesday afternoons) and for adults (on selected Thursday afternoons).
