Nestled in a peaceful and lush setting 12 km from Grenoble, the spa resort of Uriage-les-Bains, very fashionable in the late 19th century, has been famous since Antiquity for its curative water. Today specialising in the treatment of rheumatic, dermatological and respiratory conditions, the spa establishment also offers fitness and well-being breaks.
The town is a lovely place to stroll around for the typical and eclectic belle-époque architecture of its hotels, villas and various other buildings. Walking enthusiasts can also choose from the very pleasant, 200-hectare Parc Thermal spa garden and the many footpaths departing from the resort.
