Calicéo

Calicéo Strasbourg is at 2A rue Mélina Mercouri, 67380 Lingolsheim, on the south-western edge of Strasbourg. The operator presents it as a balneotherapy centre rather than a thermal or mineral bath, and claims no spring, well or mineral content. The water is plain water heated and held at a constant temperature, which the operator gives as 34 °C, and the chain says the indoor and outdoor pools are heated to 34 °C all year round. The centre is described as covering more than 5,000 m². Outdoors, the heated pools carry jacuzzis, massage jets, bubbling loungers and swan-neck spouts, with open terraces; indoors, large glazed walls light a pool with bubble baths, hydromassage jets and a counter-current circuit.

Admission to the Bains gives access to the whole balneotherapy installation as well as the sauna and hammam areas, and the operator states that the entry also includes aquagym classes. Alongside the Bains there are two other departments: La Vitalité, the supervised water-fitness programme covering aquagym, aquabike, aquatraining, aquapilates and aquasculpt, and Le Spa, which sells massages, facial and body treatments, LPG slimming sessions and rituals by appointment.

The Bains open from 10:00 to 22:00 Sunday to Thursday and from 10:00 to 23:00 on Friday and Saturday, public holidays included, with no booking required; the pools are cleared fifteen minutes before closing. The Spa opens from 10:00 to 20:00 Monday to Sunday, public holidays included, by appointment. The operator calls the Lingolsheim centre a new space and gives no opening year for it; the Calicéo chain itself was founded in 1997.
