Avène Hydrotherapy Center: the kingdom of children
At Avène, we know that chronic childhood dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis and eczema don’t just have a significant impact on the daily life of children, they also affect their families.
Thermal skincares at Avène can be seen as an opportunity to reconnect with your child, in a new, unique and soothing environment. Here, one in every four spa guests is a child and the thermal baths even welcome toddlers from 3 months old! As every condition is unique, your child will be treated as soon as they arrive with a personalised care programme, recommended by a doctor at the centre. Thanks to specific workshops, you will accompany your child and take advantage of your stay to learn together to better cope with the condition every day.
