Baden Baden ... Some Day !

Baden-Baden is so nice, that it had to named twice. Baden-Baden's curative waters and air of old-world luxury have attracted royals, the rich and celebrities over the years – BarackObama and Bismarck, Queen Victoria and Victoria Beckham included.

This Black Forest town boasts grand colonnaded buildings and whimsically turreted art nouveau villas spread across the hillsides and framed by forested mountains.

The bon vivant spirit of France, just across the border, is tangible in the town’s open-air cafes, chic boutiques and pristine gardens fringing the Oos River. And with its temple-like thermal baths – which put the Baden (bathe) in Baden – and palatial casino, the allure of this grand dame of German spa towns is as timeless as it is enduring.

It's a wonderful destination for 3 to 4 nights stay ... A must visit ... Some day !
