A local day in Amélie-les-Bains centre
From the apartment to the first stop; excludes the rest of the day. Lock your bike and explore the central streets on foot.
Start at the tourist office at Gare routière for today’s events, then explore Amélie’s centre and thermal quarter. Choose the small daily morning market or the larger Thursday market, stop for coffee and pick a local lunch. An adults-only thermal spa session is an optional pre-booked finish. This is a flexible half-day or easy full day, with alternatives rather than a list of compulsory stops. If the tourist office is closed, begin with the market or town walk.
