Two individual treatment cabins: balneotherapy and massage bed complete the equipment. The resort located in Forbach is served by the A4 motorway (Paris-Strasbourg) and the A6 motorway (from Germany). The Forbach metropolitan area is only 1h40 from Paris and 2 h from Frankfurt thanks to the train high-speed line. Multiple flight connections are offered with four airports nearby: Sarrebruck in Germany (20 km), Metz-Nancy-Lorraine (75 km), Luxembourg (95 km) and Frankfurt-Hahn in Germany (120 km). Major renovations to the pool are currently underway (end of work in June 2022). It will therefore be ready from 2022 for the reception of athletes who will benefit from modern facilities and optimal operating conditions.
