Great place, the purist architecture is so inspiring, reminded me a great time! Thanks Luc (not from me the Photo as you spend most of the time daydreaming in hot water, downloaded from Vals website)...
I can empathize with that!
Yes, and photography is forbidden in the bath for good reasons . That said, when I was really excited about the building many years ago, I would sneaked my Ixus in with a novel and click, click, click... I also like that pool you showed--the harmony/acous...
