Art Deco, French-style

There are a number of thermal baths in Plombieres-les-bains, France, with various elegant décors.  This one caught our eyes, though, because of the wonderful Art Deco interior.  We weren’t able to sample the various therapeutic delights available, but we did try the waters.  I mentioned in an earlier post that one type of water was to be taken if you have constipation, the other for diarrhea.   We made sure to try a little of each, just to keep things under control.  🙂  As for the thermal baths themselves, massages, and other choices, hopefully next time.

  1. I think I like art deco because it is so utterly different than the decor in my own surroundings. It’s not the sort of style that mixes will with others. I’ve always loved Erte, though, so there might one day be a bit of the art deco in the form of a collection of figurines amidst the rural rustic if ever I am a windfall recipient, lol.

    I love the Art Deco movement and these photos are beautiful, Janet. Did you happen to see it at night when the lights were on? The spire is of particular interest to me.

    I really had to laugh about how you selected the different waters 😀
    Hope your week is just as good, dear Janet! 😉

  10. It sure looks pretty and very inviting to get a massage and dip into warm waters!

  12. Very ornate, Janet. Worthy of a few photos. 🙂

    • The entire town is a jewel. Can’t wait to go back the next time I’m there. I have a number of Thursday Door posts about it (and one more coming up this Thursday.)
