Aix-les-Bains
Aix-les-Bains is a popular and fashionable family holiday resort
and spa town located on the eastern side of Lac du Bourget, the
largest natural freshwater lake in France. Although the lake is icy
cold, you can sail, fish, play golf and tennis, or picnic on the
parkland at the water's edge. The main town of Aix is two miles
(3km) inland from the lake and has been built around its thermal
springs. Many small hotels line the streets, and streams of holiday
visitors take to the baths each day; in the evening, for a change
of pace, they play the slot machines at the Aix-les-Bains casino or
attend tea dances.
