Eugénie-les-Bains hotels collection

One of the springs at Eugénie-les-Bains rises hot and sulphurous; the other, cold, is for drinking. The hamlet of Les Eaux still belonged to its neighbours when their councils asked that the commune about to be born be named Eugénie-les-Eaux, with the Empress as godmother; the law, signed at the Tuileries, settled on Bains. All around, the Tursan tiers its vines over clay slopes facing the Pyrenees. Geaune keeps its arcaded market place and its grid of square plots, as the rule of the bastides required. Pimbo, the first bastide in the Landes, holds its Romanesque collegiate church up on its hill, above the vines.
