Sauna de la Motta

In the legendary Bains de la Motta, by the Sarine and at the foot of the cathedral, Finnish saunas heated with wood under Mongolian yurts. The warmth of the sauna yurts, the contrast of the cold pools, the hotpot, and the relaxation yurt, where tea and water are offered. In one yurt, you dress (swimsuit or fouta), in the other, nudity is permitted. No reservation, no time limit, open to everyone: «your winter lounge». At the bar: local beer, homemade power juice, and light snacks.
