[FR] Situées à l’embouchure de la Rivière Bleue dans la baie du Carénage, et signalées par des murettes visibles dans la mer, les sources thermales génèrent une eau légèrement sulfureuse à 43°C.

Elles sont au nombre de trois et ont été mises en service lors de la période pénitentiaire du village de Prony vers 1871.

La première source, seule visible sur terre ferme, est en rive gauche de l’embouchure de la rivière des Kaoris, la seconde est en baie de Carénage et la troisième, entièrement sous-marine est au cœur de la Baie de Prony. C’est à elle que nous devons notamment le roc aiguille de Prony.

Ce site est une des étapes du sentier de grande randonnée GR1-NC.
