Bagneres de Luchon Picture of the town taken in/from Bagneres de Luchon (France) Date: Aug-2011 Camera: Sony DSC-H5 Comments: Bagnères-de-Luchon is celebrated for its thermal springs. The springs, which number forty eight, vary in composition, but are chiefly impregnated with sodium sulfate, and range in temperature from 62 to 150 Fahrenheit. The discovery of numerous Roman remains attests the antiquity of the baths, which are identified with the Onesiorum Thermae of Strabo. Their revival in modern times dates from the latter half of the 18th century, and was due to Antoine Mégret d´Étigny, intendant of Auch. For more info about this travel see
