The springs were analysed in 1819 and recognised as being of good quality for treatments. In 1835, the first spa-goers began to come, and a basic facility was built in 1839. The first real trail was completed in 1845, and spa-goers arrived in Cilaos in sedan chairs. Dr Mac Auliffe took over management of the baths in 1900. However, a cyclone in 1948 destroyed the buildings in a few minutes, and baths and treatments are now provided in the new Ir\u00e9n\u00e9e Accot facility.<\/span><\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span><u><span>Choose healthier hydration with the OKO water bottle<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span>On your outdoor adventures, staying hydrated is essential, and <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/okoeurope.com\/products\/gourde-ultra-filtrante-oko-filtre-inclus?ref=okoguillaume\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored noreferrer\"><u><span>the OKO water bottle<\/span><\/u><\/a><span> is the perfect ally to make sure you can drink pure water at any time.
