THALASSOTHERAPY EMBODIES a combination of treatments pertaining to ocean algae, a marine climate and the sea itself. It imparts energy and dynamism to the body inducing an overall functional recuperation.

THE SEA: Water alive and life giving, extremely rich in minerals and trace elements (manganese, copper, cobalt) all of which are needed for the revitalization of the body. To date, it constitutes the only known ¨remedy¨capable of slowing down the aging process and to prolong youthful vigor.
THE CLIMATE at Baie des Chaleurs is temperate and dry, truly a ¨micro-climate¨, enriched by salt-saturated and iodized air, making it a particularly choice spot for mental relaxation and physical recuperation.
THALASSOTHERAPY is a combination of treatments which can: recuperate lost energy through the use of sea water and algae which in turn, achieves a sense of deep relaxation; revitalize the body, at the same time, easing pain caused by arthristis and rhumatism; and also, can promote weight loss. However some persons may not want to lose weight, it can be easily maintained.

We highly recommend that the Thalassotherapy treatments be experienced during the relaxing atmosphere of a vacation, whereby, you are free to do what you wish, contrary to the routine lives, making it a superb opportunity for mental relaxation and physical recuperation.
  THE TEAM: essentially Gaspesian trained at the Auberge du Parc Inn by highly qualified teachers, greets you with simplicity and warmth.
  ALGAE: ¨Eldest offspring of the sea ant the sun¨ (Dr. C. Chassé), equally rich in minerals, vitamins, oxygen and in bio-active and ionized elements. Reduced to powder form by a special separation process, algae are readily assimilated by osmosis and, as such, are able to nourish and oxygenate the body cells while at the same time stimulating the blood circulation and the metabolism.

Each day you receive three hours of treatment including one hour of massage.
