Gréoux les Bains, France, "Romantic Oasis of Verdon"
"This country is charming [...] I don't know of a place better than Gréoulx to cure boredom. Just as this blessed place cures rheumatism with the old remedies of waters older than the world [.. .] This country whose charms I want to list cures boredom with the remedies created by God for this purpose. The only remedies, in my opinion and I would like people to agree with me on this point from the outset."
This is how the famous Provençal writer Jean Giono (in " Provence ") describes Gréoux les Bains ...
- A little history...
Recognized since antiquity for its hot springs, the Romans then installed thermal baths there and named the locality Nymphis Grisélius (in reference to the nymphs, goddesses of nature and, more particularly, of the springs).
Its name further evolved overtime until being added the mention " les bains " in 1923, thus enhancing its long thermal past (dating from the 1st century BC.).
Typical Provencal village, Gréoux les Bains seduces with its Castle of the Templars and its medieval rampart, its shaded squares, its narrow and paved alleys interspersed with stairs, its arched passages, its washhouses and fountains, its chapels, its church, its houses with colorful facades ...
- A little geography ...
Located at an altitude of 368m, Greoux les Bains (04800) is at the crossroads of 4 departments (Alpes de Haute Provence, Bouches du Rhône, Var and Vaucluse) and 2 Regional Natural Parks ( Luberon and Verdon ).
It is bordered by the Verdon, it benefits from a dry and sunny microclimate (around 300 days of sunshine per year), which would make it " the purest sky in Europe " ...
