Molitg-les-Bains is a small village nestled in the valley of the Castellane, halfway between Perpignan and Font-Romeu, in front of Canigou. The old village is 600 m above sea level on an undulating plateau that enjoys an exceptionally sunny. Just below the village in the gorges of Castellane, in full view of the ruins of Paracolls, amidst a beautiful park, the baths offer care tailored to the various properties of its waters, or medical treatment, either mini spa wellness.

Molitg is surrounded by orchards and pastures, enjoy the summer, ripe peaches, assess the quality of the "dew of the Pyrenees," beef animals bred in the area, along with its honey and apple juice craft.

But mostly you will enjoy its peace and quiet, punctuated by the bells of the Romanesque church.

Things to see and do

Molitg-les-Bains is the very first resort created by the Chaîne Thermale du Soleil. You will be seduced by its charm from the moment you arrive, when you see it nestled in its green setting. You can enjoy wellness treatments at the thermal spa.

In the village, you will find a grocery store, a play area for young children, a multi-sport field and a mini-golf course.

Numerous marked hiking trails crisscross the town: the Chemin de la Bogue, the ruins of Paracolls with a superb view of the valley, the mule drivers' trail, the Lloustries trail. At the end of winter, you walk among the mimosas, in spring among the brooms and a little later it is the cistus which decorate the countryside. If you have more courage, you can climb into the summer pastures and reach one of the dolmens in the valley.

Events and festivities
