Surely once the premier address in town. Directly across from the thermal baths. Now a lost place.

Tour des Échevins

Highlight • Castle

When you arrive in Luxeuil-les-Bains, it is impossible to pass by the Tour des Échevins without noticing it! Emblematic monument of the city, the tower impresses with its height and its Gothic architecture with its gargoyles, its oriel, its decorations, it is the star of souvenir photographs of Luxeuil-les-Bains.
Do not hesitate to push open the door of his museum which is on the side of the building, in the small rue de la Tour. The museum brings together very beautiful vestiges of the Luxovian past: Gallo-Roman stelae, Etruscan statuettes, or even the testimony of the presence of a potters' oven.

Basilica of Saint Pierre

Highlight • Other

The Basilica of Saint Pierre (a parish church since 1840) dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries; of its three towers, only one remains, having been rebuilt in 1527. Inside the church, the baroque organ front from the 17th century, the pulpit from Notre-Dame in Paris from 1806, a 16th-century sculpture of Christ lying on a stone table, and the neo-Gothic reliquary of St. Columban are particularly worth seeing. The choir stalls date from the 16th century.

Saint Columban Abbey

Highlight • Other

St. Columban of Luxeuil (died 615) founded the Luxovium monastery (patron saint: St. Peter) at the foot of the Vosges Mountains around 590. Columban soon received the requested protection of the Merovingian royal family and the local nobility for his foundation. In 610, however, Columban was expelled by Theuderic, King of Austria and Burgundy, and fled to Italy.

After the monastery was destroyed by the Saracens and many of its monks were murdered around 732, it was restored as a Benedictine monastery by Charlemagne.

The Benedictine monastery of Luxeuil joined the Congregation of Saint-Vannes in 1634, and the monastery was closed in 1790 as a result of the French Revolution. (Wikipedia)

The modern extension at the back is now a bit old and does not contribute to the beautification of the historic part of the building.
More than a dozen warm springs (43-63 °C) already invited the Romans to bathe. The oldest thermal bath in France was built here in the 18th century. The historic thermal building, which has now been modernly furnished, is located in a park in the north of the city. (Wikipedia)
