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!
