Explore Cransac-les-Thermes and the Aveyron region

From Mining to Thermal Baths

A former mining town transformed into a renowned spa town famous for its soothing thermal baths, Cransac offers a unique natural setting between forests, hills, and authentic villages. Nestled in a black locust forest, it harnesses an exceptional natural phenomenon: the hot gases of the famous "burning mountain" ("Lou Puech que Ard" in Occitan) to treat rheumatological conditions. Stay in The Hôtel du Parc allows you to enjoy thermal baths as well as hiking and the remarkable sites of Aveyron.
