Neris-les-Bains - Ville de Néris-les-Bains
The Néris-les-Bains resort is located at the border of four historic regions: the Bourbonnais, the Auvergne,
the Berry and the Limousin. At an elevation of around 1000 feet, on the foothills of the Massif Central range, it enjoys a mild climate and an unspoilt environment.
Walking the streets of Néris, be ready to be amazed by the old railway station, the theater - in the Napoleon
III's style, the church, the Saint-Joseph chapel or the impressive viaducts of the former railway track.
If you enjoy outdoor activities , you will find Néris a haven, with its wide range of activities: hiking, horse
-riding, mountain-biking, fishing, swimming (indoor pool), tennis, golf, bungee jumping and more.
Finally, how could we possibly talk about Néris without mentioning the waters? These waters originate from
the deepest layers of the Earth (approximately three miles deep!) and are of the hyper-thermal type. The
springs gush out at 53° Celsius (almost 140° Farenheit) at the point of emergence. During their trip through the
various rock strata, these hot waters become enriched with minerals and trace elements. This is why, thanks
to this unique formula, the waters of Néris-les-Bains are suitable for Psychosomatic, Neurological and Rheumatoid therapies.

Discover France - French Music
The earliest French influence on Western music is found in the plainsong of the Christian Church. It is believed
that Gregorian chant as it is known today is an 8th- or 9th-century Gallican interpretation of Roman chant, but
it is difficult to distinguish the Gallican ornamentation from its Roman basis. It has been suggested that the
basic idea of the trope (an interpolation in a preexistent chant) is Gallican and that the surviving body of medieval tropes and sequences had a French influence ........
