Brides-les-Bains is a village in the Trois Vallées region of Savoie in France. Its population is around 600, and its main claim to fame is its role as an Olympic Village for the 1992 Winter Games.

It is a popular holiday destination for English tourists owing to its easy accessibility via Eurostar direct from London and its cable-car link direct to the ski slopes at Méribel, a major resort eight miles away.

Although Brides-les-Bains' main attraction to tourists is its convenience for Méribel, the village boasts a few attractions, including several health spas and a casino, and a few sites of historic or cultural interest, including the springs from which the town takes its name, a medieval church and a statue made out of piping entitled "La Manche de Chapeau."
