Thalassotherapy in Normandy - Best thalassotherapy hotel in Normandy

If like me, this year you have decided to pamper yourself by offering yourself a Thalasso cure in Normandy, this post might interest you. I will not detail all the benefits of thalassotherapy for your health, nor all the benefits of getting back into shape for your mind and your morale ... In truth, as for thermal waters, the virtues of water from sea ​​are indisputable and quite recognized.

No, however, I will answer in detail all the questions I may have asked myself before booking a Thalasso stay in Normandy :

What kind of Thalasso stay to choose in Normandy? How long does it take to have a good Thalasso in Normandy? Thalasso Center or Thalasso Hotel in Normandy: Which formula to favor? What are the quality guarantees of Thalasso centers in Normandy? Which Thalasso hotel to choose in Normandy?

It was by answering these questions that I was able to identify the best Thalasso hotel in Normandy, more precisely the one who will know how to meet my desires, my expectations and in particular my quality criteria.

What type of wellness stay to choose in Normandy?

Thalasso, balneotherapy, hydrotherapy… Houlà! It's all super complicated! In order to choose the kind of stay that you really need or want, you will have to start by understanding what it is.

Spa treatment in Normandy

These are stays near thermal springs with treatments based on mud and mineral water. These cures will be aimed especially at people who suffer from rheumatism, respiratory problems, dermatological concerns… These are therapeutic treatments which will make it possible to treat various pathologies. These spa treatments are generally prescribed by a general practitioner or a specialist and take place in a spa over a period of 3 weeks to a month. They will be fully or partially reimbursed by Social Security under certain conditions.

Balneotherapy in Normandy

Balneotherapy is the name given to all water-based treatments regardless of the type of water: spring water, thermal water, fresh water, sea water. Therefore, a balneotherapy stay can be done. anywhere even at your home in a "balneo" bathtub. The benefits of balneotherapy (well-being and fitness) do not result from the specific virtues of the water used but from the way the water is administered to your body:  

  • shower with powerful jets to stimulate blood circulation and tone the skin (can also act on cellulite loss),
  • hydromassage bath (to relax, relax and promote venous and lymphatic circulation),
  • whirlpool bath (principle of spa baths to relax muscles),
  • etc ...

It is therefore the equipment that will condition the quality of balneotherapy treatments. A balneotherapy stay in Normandy can therefore be practiced anywhere in Normandy and not only in a marine site.

Thalassotherapy in Normandy

The term thalassotherapy covers all the treatments practiced with all substances from the marine environment: water, mud, algae… A thalassotherapy stay in Normandy can therefore combine the therapeutic virtues of sea water with the benefits of balneotherapy. A thalassotherapy cure in Normandy will therefore be practiced exclusively on the Normandy seaside coasts.

Thalassotherapy treatments, generally practiced by health professionals, will be able to relieve back pain, fatigue, heavy legs, osteoarthritis ... But for most people, a thalassotherapy stay in Normandy means especially a stay that feels good, a stay to enjoy the sea, a stay to alleviate stress, a stay to get back in shape, to lose weight or sometimes to fight against a depressive state. Thalassotherapy combines comfort care (physical + mental).

How long for a good thalasso in Normandy?

When I explored the many Thalasso centers in Normandy, I discovered that a Thalasso weekend will be a simple but very pleasant weekend of relaxation and relaxation.

Indeed, for a good fitness and therapeutic effects in the longer term, it is necessary to devote a stay to it. at least six days with a minimum of four daily treatments.

What quality guarantees?

Faced with the offer of Thalassotherapy centers now very important, particularly in Normandy, it is difficult to know which are quality establishments offering professional and supervised care and whose hygiene will be unassailable.

In fact, there is a National Professional Thalassotherapy Union which joined forces with the International Thalassotherapy Federation to form in 2008 the France Thalasso organization.

This institution ensures that the name "Thalassotherapy" and the fundamental values ​​of Thalasso are respected. For a Thalasso hotel, being approved by France Thalasso is therefore recognition of quality.

In fact, to be referenced by this organization, Thalassotherapy centers must adhere to a quality charter based on the AFNOR XP X50-844 standard and must comply with the following commitments:

  • Privileged site by the sea in a preserved environment 
  • Use of natural seawater
  • Medical surveillance to guarantee a serene cure
  • Team of qualified and attentive professionals
  • Guarantee of optimal hygiene and safety
  • Compliant and maintained facilities

It is therefore useful to check carefully, for your next Thalasso stay in Normandy, that the center you have chosen is approved by this organization.

This is what I did when I researched the best Thalasso hotels in Normandy. I applied my usual selection criteria (attractive geographical location to combine Thalasso treatment and tourism, comfort, cleanliness, restaurant) and I checked that they were well referenced by France Thalasso. So I can guarantee that theEstablishment that I have selected below is a recognized and quality Thalassotherapy Center.

Thalasso center or hotel in Normandy? Which formula to choose?

Among the forty or so thalassotherapy centers that exist along our Normandy coast, all of them offer different types of stays, the lengths of which are variable and customizable, ranging from a single day to a stay of a week or more.

For accommodation, you have the choice between staying in the hotel in the Thalassotherapy center or staying elsewhere outside the center. In the latter case, you do not opt ​​for a Thalasso stay but for a Thalasso cure alone.

The option of the hotel in the center or connected to the center is the ideal option especially since the majority of hotels make attractive packages for this type of stay.
