Villa Lumière

Om

Raske fakta: Here, millions of liters of mineral water are drawn daily from a spring 400 meters deep, and only a small part ends up in bottles. The interior is adorned with mosaics and stained glass depicting stories from Greek mythology, and the water is still dispensed from the historic tap that visitors used more than a century ago.

Høydepunkter: Completely unexpectedly, among the marble staircases and gilded details hides a tap that dispenses for free the same water that European aristocrats used for treatment when this was the most famous spa on the continent. In one of the rooms, the acoustics are so perfect that a whisper from one side of the room is heard perfectly clearly on the other, which is why it was once used for secret meetings and diplomatic negotiations.

Insidertips

• Ponesite udobne cipele, jer su podovi od uglačanog kamena i klizavi, posebno u vlažnim termalnim halama.
• Najbolja fotografija se dobija iz gornje galerije drugog sprata, odakle se vidi ceo mozaik pod nogama i vitraž iznad glave.
• Preskočite suvenirnicu na izlazu i umesto toga pijte vodu sa istorijske slavine, to je autentično iskustvo koje ništa ne košta.
• Ako želite mir, dođite 30 minuta pred zatvaranje, kada većina grupa ode, a svetlost postaje topla i zlatna.
