Therms & Springs
Spa's iron-rich waters were famous throughout Europe. Kings and emperors came here from the 16th century onwards.
3 audio storytelling walks for ages 6–12, guided by Droplet — the cheeky little water drop who knows all the secrets of the spa town.
Les Contes d'Ariane turns a city walk into a real narrative adventure. Guided by Droplet's voice in your earphones, you discover Spa differently — not as tourists, but as characters in a story.
Professional voice, ambient music, sound effects — a real audio production.
The story triggers automatically when you reach the right spot.
Designed to delight ages 6–12 — without boring the adults.
Born in the depths of the Ardennes, Droplet has travelled for centuries through Spa's springs. She has seen everything — kings, poets, mysterious visitors. Today, she shares her secrets with you.
Nestled in the green hills of the Ardennes, Spa is far more than a spa town. It's a cradle of stories, legends and breathtaking Belle Époque architecture.
