When it developed in France in the 19th century, the fashion of sea bathing
was not a leisure practice nor an opportunity to admire the beauty of the beaches;
people bathed for medical reasons. Doctors discovered the virtues of sea water,
rich in magnesium, calcium and potassium, capable according to them of curing many ailments.
Bathing, and more precisely walking in the water, stimulates the blood circulation
and offers a bath rich in trace elements and mineral salts
while relieving the joints. As for walking on the sand
known today as "Nordic walking", it stimulates the cardiovascular system as well as the
the cardiovascular system as well as the respiratory system, while toning up the muscle groups.
Today, two thalassotherapy centers perpetuate the tradition of seawater immersion that has lasted for nearly 200 years. With hydromassage baths, seaweed wraps and marine mud applications, you can take advantage of the therapeutic virtues of the marine environment to enjoy a wellness break.
More recently, the Deauville Olympic pool was designed by the architect Roger Taillibert in 1966. The 50-meter long pool is filled with seawater pumped from the coast of Deauville and heated to 28°C all year round. With its concrete sails and curves, the outside of the pool looks like a shell placed on the sand, facing the sea, sheltered from the sea winds. Inside, it is a huge vault that catches the sun and light. An ideal place for a swim, a workout or an aquagym class.
