The wonderful adventure began in 1881 with the construction of a magnificent seaside palace, The Grand Hotel de Paramé on the sea front. It was the beginning of the sea bathing era
where mobile bathing cabins were pulled by horses to the sea enabling bathers to enter the water without being seen, the Grand Dukes of Russia and their entire court would spend their summer days there…
Requisitioned during the second world war by the Germans, the Grand Hotel subsequently closed its doors.
In 1963, a thalassotherapy centre was built into the historic building,
mainly providing health treatments.
In 1981 Serge Raulic, with the support of his parents Alexandre and Ernestine Raulic, bought and took over the management of the Grand Hotel des Thermes which housed within its walls Les Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo thalassotherapy centre. A visionary, a forerunner and an entrepreneur at heart, he launched a very ambitious program for renovation and investment and drove the establishment with force and passion.
Today, France’s leader in thalassotherapy, the Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo welcomes more than 27,000 visitors a year to this unique establishment and provides 270,000 thalassotherapy and spa treatments.
