Although the full name of the village is Vals-les-Bains, the locals tend simply to call it “Vals”. An abbreviation that might ring a bell with some of you, as it is also the name of a well-known brand of sparkling water. Which is no coincidence, since Vals-les-Bains is a spa town, built close to springs that provide the naturally sparkling mineral water. This water is bursting with benefits as it is sourced from the volcanic springs found at the heart of the Monts d’Ardèche volcanoes.
During your stay at a campsite in Vals-les-Bains, you’ll be able to visit the pavilion built around the Saint-Jean spring, in the centre of the village.
With opportunities for culture, entertainment, adventure and fine dining, your camping holiday at Vals-les-Bains promises endless enjoyment. Naturally, the main attraction will be a spa treatment at the Séquoia Redwood spa centre, the perfect way to unwind and reap the benefits of the waters of the Ardèche. And for the ultimate in relaxation, you can also visit the spa facilities at Yelloh! Village Domaine Les Ranchisses and its balneo area. Combined with the Vals-les-Bains health spa, this is an excellent way to take your experience to the next level.
After all that, you’ll probably enjoy a good walk. Take a stroll in the shade of the trees, through the parks and narrow streets to appreciate some of the local sights: the intermittent spring, the pavilion of the Saint-Jean spring, the Eiffel Bridge and more. As you wander along, you’ll be able to admire the banks of the river Volane, which flows into the Ardèche.
Round off your tour with a landmark, the Maison Champanhet – an 18th-century residence typical of the region. Some believe that, centuries ago, this house was the scene of a Protestant ambush. Above all, however, its architectural wealth is what makes it a worthwhile destination. The local council is currently seeking to turn the building into a cultural hub dedicated to ancestral know-how.
Meanwhile, children will love the rides in the park, the playground at the casino and the tree-top adventure course. And the grown-ups? Treat yourselves to a few hours at the casino! And to please the whole family, be sure to stop by at the Béatrix ice cream parlour, renowned throughout the region for the delicious flavours of its ice cream sundaes. Gourmets will also enjoy a trip to the local markets and the Bourganel brewery. You could even spoil yourselves with a high-class dining experience at Le Vivarais, the resort’s exquisite gourmet restaurant.
