The thermal establishments of Dax and its surroundings will no longer treat spa guests from this Monday, March 16. While a notification from the Regional Health Agency of New Aquitaine announcing their closure is expected in the coming hours, the local thermal baths did not wait.
They followed the recommendation of the Directorate General of Health, which indicates that, given the current health context, it is considered that thermal activity “would run unjustified risks for spa guests already weakened elsewhere”.
“A little in the panade”
“We were expecting it. The national plan is nevertheless that of preserving the oldest, the very ones who frequent our establishments. So we decided to treat more from Monday “Said Jean-Charles Pressigout, president of the Association of the thermal establishments of the dacquoise agglomeration, Saturday afternoon.
“I’ve never known that in forty years, so we are moving as best we can”
Arnaud Laborde, president of the thermal baths of Landes and director of the thermal baths of Saubusse also chose the anticipation. “I hope that social security will not hold us against this closure without an official announcement, but I do not understand why the ARS takes so long to communicate. “
“This situation puts us in a bit of a panic because we will also have to manage all the hotels linked to the thermal activity which will also not be able to continue if the thermal baths close. I’ve never known that in 40 years, so we’re moving as well as we can, “said the director, while indicating that he was doing everything possible to inform the spa guests who were to arrive in his establishment on Monday.
