Thermes Foch

Thermes Foch is a thermal cure establishment in the heart of Dax, part of the Bains de Dax group, that has been receiving curistes (cure patients) for more than 40 years. It is not a drop-in spa: there is no day-pass access, and treatment is reservation-based, built around multi-day or multi-week thermal cures rather than single visits.

The core treatment here is péloïde de Dax, a mud therapy combining sediment from the Adour river, hyperthermal spring water and algae, used alongside hydrotherapy and on-site physiotherapy massage. Cure programs are oriented toward rheumatology, phlebology and fibromyalgia, with shorter mini-cure options also available for those not pursuing a full course of treatment.

The building is entirely single-level, which keeps all treatment areas on the ground floor and easy to move between during a stay. It sits a short walk from Dax's commercial streets, and nearby residences operated under the same group (Foch, Thermalis, Daxadour, Tuc d'Eauze) offer accommodation for people staying through a cure.

Opening hours run daily from 7:00 to 13:00 and again from 14:00 to 17:00, seven days a week, though actual treatment scheduling depends on the individual cure program booked. Anyone considering a stay should contact the center directly to confirm cure duration, specific treatment plans and what paperwork or prescriptions are needed before arrival.
