Bourbonne-les-Bains is a commune in the Haute-Marne department in northeastern France. It is located 57 km E.N.E. of Langres by rail.
Bourbonne is a health resort due to hot springs. These thermal springs were known to the Gauls and to the Romans who built baths. The Romans called the springs Aquae Borvonis. The name probably derives from the Gallo-Roman deity Borvo. More than 11,000 patients visit the spa each year.
