See Lake Aix-les-bains and its surroundings



Apart from Lake Léman which has a swiss part, the lake Bourget is the largest natural lake in France and a marvel of unsubdued nature. Also known as lake Aix-les-bains, it is the main actor of this city whose worldwide famous reputation has been built around its thermal sources.

Third thermal French city today, equipped with new systems and a health center, Aix-les-bains has not forgotten its dynamism by offering a special life setting to its current and future inhabitants.

Surrounding by its lake and its mountains, this famous city has everything to offer: sports activities for each age and every condition (from hiking to diving, going through horse riding and paragliding); a rich cultural life thanks to its theater, its casino and many international events such as Musilac or Aquascénies (3D show combining dance, music and fireworks); but also an increasing economical aspect thanks to its technological excellence center Savoie Technolac.

The poets will appreciate its wild and protected environment; and the town people will be happy to find a city which combines the advantages of the city life with those of the weekends in the country or waterside.
