Thalassotherapie, translated to mean sea water cure, was discovered by a Tour de France cyclist who healed from his injuries by sea water in his home of Brittany. Today, there are numerous thalassotherapy treatment centers in the Aquitaine, which has become a bit of an epicenter of thalassotherapy.
