The Romans made it famous (the Emperor Augustus' daughter was already treating her rheumatism there) and rich; Louis XIV also stopped in Dax on his way back from Saint Jean de Luz, a triumphal arch is also erected in his honor. But Dax has made its wealth from its water, rainwater which is enriched with mineral salts and heats up to 62° and water from the adour; Dax is today a place of Cure with a national reputation.
