The Thermes Valentia, also known as the Thermes de La Condamine, located in Monaco, is a historic thermal establishment that was active from 1895 to 1908, when it was closed after the opening of the Thermes Marins de Monte Carlo. La Condamine is one of the districts of Monaco, located near the Port Hercule.
The Thermes de La Condamine were renowned for their thermal baths and wellness facilities. They offered treatments based on thermal water for relaxation, health, and well-being under the direction of Dr. Guimbail. The thermal waters used were sourced from natural springs in the region.
