Outdoor saunas in France

Outdoor saunas change the shape of the ritual. Walking between a wood-fired cabin and open water, in whatever weather the day decided on, is part of the session rather than a disruption. It is usually where the best heat in the atlas lives, in barrel, tent and field setups run by small independent operators.

In France, 7 of the curated saunas fit this cut. See the full France country guide for every venue, or keep scrolling for just the outdoor saunas.
