The Loire Valley

South of Paris and nestled in the Loire Valley, La Roche-Posay is the perfect place for a french holiday.

More about La Roche-posay

WHY IS LA ROCHE-POSAY FAMOUS?

You might recognize the name of the town because of the well known brand of beauty products with the same name and founded in the town nearly 100 years ago. Now owned by the L'Oreal group, the products of La Roche-Posay are famous in almost every country in the world. 

 

Its reputation as a spa town, founded more than 350 years ago,  is one of the many reasons La Roche-Posay attracts visitors. Recognized as being of public utility by the French government in 1869, it became the first spa in Europe entirely dedicated to dermatological ailments. Thousands of people come each year for the healing properties of the waters.


In the centre of La Roche-Posay you'll find several historical monuments of interest, including the fortified roman style church, dating from the 11th century. The bell tower is the only part of the original structure that still remains, while the medieval defensive structure added in the 15th century can best be seen on the north side of the church.


There are many things to do in this charming town just a short walk from the château.
