Carnac, in the south of Brittany: the land of the Korrigans, megaliths and hydrangeas in the windows. But this is also the land of the ocean and thalassotherapy. It's a question of exposure: you cannot cross this area without becoming "tanked up" by the forces surrounding it: the same which whip the sails of ships, disperse the scent of the mimosas and brighten up women's complexions.
Thalassotherapy at Carnac draws on these natural forces at their source and restores them to your body. Benefiting from both rain and sun, you will be offered a warm welcome by the beaches, the legendary figures of the forest of Brocéliande and the 365 islands of the Gulf of Morbihan. Going away: it's a bit like letting go...
