Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Thermalism benefitted from a revival at the end of the Middle-Ages, and reached its apex in the 18th and 19th centuries. A number of its features are well-known, but not the way in which a rural population might generate this type of activity —except in the case of the village of Plombières in the Vosges, as a result of the denunciation of a secret du Baing (“secret of the Bath”). Criminal and judicial archives from the 16th century allow us to discover how the community of the villagers organized the use of the Waters, which provided the only economic resource in an area with no agricultural potential.
