Luxeuil les Bains - Établissement thermal

Luxeuil les Bains was known to the Romans as Luxovium. They were attracted by the more than a dozen warm springs.

In 590, the iro-scottish missionary St. Columban founded the Abbey of Luxeuil. In the 8th century, it was destroyed by the Saracens. It was rebuilt, but afterward, the monastery and town were devastated by the Normans, Magyars, and Muslims.

Originally built on multiple hot springs that fed them, the thermal baths were remodeled mid-18th century when tourism started. Tourism had its peak in the early 20th century.
