Discover the benefits of laconium

In antiquity the Laconium was one of the most popular treatment rooms in Roman bathing establishments. It was also the place to be. Indeed, in this room converged all the worldly discussions of the city.

This heated room provides a heat bath at a constant temperature of 60°C, in a warm and low humidity atmosphere provided by a fountain conducive to relaxation and exchange.

The Laconium is a dry sweat room. Much like the Tepidarium, regular radiant heat emanates from the stone walls and floor, as well as the seating and resting surfaces. Unlike the Trepidarium; the temperatures there are considerably higher, namely by around 60 °C.

The body begins to sweat slowly but intensely. The Laconium sweating session is a good alternative for people who find the temperature of 90°C or more of the traditional sauna too high. The humidity is around 15-20%.

The body under the effect of medium heat, sweats quickly but without feeling any discomfort. The user then enters a beneficial recovery phase. The heat that radiates throughout the room comes from the walls and benches that are heated.

This treatment gives the body a soft and comfortable sensation.

Blood circulation is stimulated, the elimination of metabolic waste accelerated and the body’s defenses are remobilised. Regular sweating in laconium also helps relieve long-lasting stress.

Cardiac activity is stimulated and blood pressure regulated. The result is a feeling of freshness and deep physical and mental relaxation. The duration of the stay in the Laconium is determined according to your own well-being, but the purification effect begins to be felt after 15-20 minutes.

You can stay in the Laconium from thirty minutes to an hour without problems: the warm air is pleasantly warm, but not too dry. After about twenty minutes, this gentle heat bath can be enhanced with a shower to cool off and stimulate circulation.

Do not hesitate any longer, push the door of our SPA for an incomparable moment of relaxation in an atmosphere borrowed from luxury and voluptuousness.
