About Vittel Spa (Thermes de Vittel)
The hammam's bench sits under a starry ceiling, with pine or eucalyptus in the steam, and both saunas let in daylight. The ice cave has a back-lit wall of ice, and the showers run from a steady fall of snowflakes to the Niagara, which drops 40 liters of cold water from the ceiling. In the aquajet garden a geyser works the soles of the feet, and the hot tubs sit outside among trees, next to a terrace. The Thermes use the Félicie spring mainly for treatments and stand in a park of 650 hectares.
