Thalasso- spa in France

I received an email recently from friend planning a trip to France and asking me any recommendation where to stay in France.

France is romantic nation and I am sure my friend will be having a wonderful stay there.

Visit to France will not be complete without trying out the Thalasso spa or some call it Thalasso Therapy.

The word Thalasso was created in France way back in late 18 century where is was originally comprise of bathing and breathing the sea air.

It is become a popular wellness tourist attraction today as people are more concern with health related issue now.

I do not understand France, so all I can do here is rely on Internet to give me a translation in various area, for example Thalasso en Bretagne do provide a list of top notch thalasso spa resort in Brittany.

Another notable thalasso spa highly recommended is Thalasso Bénodet which is located at the coast of Cornwall. There are a lot of water sports in this spa and natural environment will make you fell relax and unwind the hectic city life.

Another piece of information I have is this place call Thalasso Saint Malo, but I couldn’t get the right information about it, anybody kind to share with me ? All I know about Saint Malo is a historical town and not much information in English version.
