Vernet les Bains
Healing and the Arts in the South of France
Nestled in les Pyrénées-Orientales, Vernet les Bains dates back to at least the 12th century. Vernet is known as “Paradise in the Pyrenees" for its sunny climate and healing sulfurous waters. Here, where palm trees flourish beneath snow-tipped mountains, great writers and painters derived inspiration. So will you!
Discover your talents and refine your artistic sensibilities in this magical village, pictured here by Raoul Dufy, circa 1942.
“I came here in search of nothing more than a little sunshine. But I found Canigou, whom I discovered to be a magician among mountains."
Rudyard Kipling, Vernet les Bains circa 1911
