Took a slight detour on our way back in to France by stopping at the Black Forest spa town of Baden-Baden. They must say it twice because it is at least twice as relaxing as you expect.
We took a most indulgent trip to a traditional roman spa palace called Friedrichsbad. All it costs is 33€ and your clothes!
We slowly worked our way through 17 stages of baths, spas, saunas, showers all powered by the natural mineral spring under the building. We had opted for the all over scrub too (well worth it). It is the height of luxury.
To give you an idea of how relaxing it was, Trav started snoring in the resting room. Yes, there is a 'resting room' and it is one mans job to wrap you up and tuck you in fresh linen and a blanket.
For us there is a real sweet spot of travel destinations on the borders of France, Germany and down in to Switzerland. These friendly people really know how to live.
