La Selo Lozère Aménagement will be in charge of the residence, with 14 luxury accommodations and a revisited environment with, in particular, the promotion of the 19th century carriage transporting spa guests, purchased at auction l' last year by the Department and repatriated from Belgium.
The spa resort of Bagnols-les-bains will soon benefit from new luxury accommodation, in this case a residence of fourteen apartments including eight T2s and six studios, equipped, accessible to people with low mobility. Selo Lozère Aménagement was selected to carry out the project and manage it. In this context, a public service delegation contract was signed, in Mende, this Monday, January 15, 2024, between the Mont Lozère community of communes and La Selo. The cost of the project amounts to 2.5 million euros, to be divided between local authorities, the State and the Selo (500,000 euros). ;
A strong identity
"These accommodations will be used to accommodate new spa guests, from April to November", launched Didier Couderc, president of the Selo. In 2023, the thermal center received 1,646 people for 2,014 treatments, foreshadowing great potential for the local economy. Sophie Pantel, the president of the Department, marked the moment with her enthusiasm: "We have invested more than 3.7 million euros in the thermal establishment. We need to create new products around well-being." A recent comparison ranked the resort in the top 10 of the French's favorite thermal spa destinations.
The stagecoach will have its museum
The site chosen for the creation of the building is the commercial island and its surroundings, in the heart of the village, between the RD901 and the RD41. It will benefit from a new environment, with the destruction of at least one building (hotel du commerce), the requalification of another into municipal housing, tertiary spaces and… nbsp;an exhibition hall for the 19th century stagecoach (Maison Gourdin), landscaped spaces and the modification of the junction of the two roads. "The idea is to revisit this area, with the thermal baths at the end of the village", rejoiced Sophie Pantel. The stagecoach will be visible from the outside, the object of walks."
A unique spa in the world
Jean de Lescure, the president of the Mont Lozère community of communes, did not hide his satisfaction, after the finalization of a file initiated in 2018: "He would have been a shame not to offer quality accommodation, referring to the severe lack of rentals available on site. Pascal Beaury, mayor of Mont-Lozère-et-Goulet also expressed his enthusiasm: "The idea of moving the road and redeveloping this area is a win-win. " "We have a Roman spa that is unique in the world due to its heritage dimension,” said Roger Crueyze, general director of Selo. Laure Trotin, general secretary of Lozère, added: There are significant economic returns around a spa resort and it will be with pleasure that the ;State will participate in this adventure.
