The commune is situated in the Massif Central in Aubrac. Its inhabitants are called the Caldaguès, from the Latin meaning 'hot waters', or in French, eaux chaudes; hence the name of the commune, Chaudes-Aigues
As its name suggests, there are thirty natural hot water sources with temperatures ranging from 45°C to more than 80°C. The most famous is the source of the Par river with a water temperature of 82°C - the hottest in Europe - with a flow in the region of 450,000 litres a day. One local story suggests that the source is so-named because a pig was dressed (paré) or jointed thanks to the hot water. The waters were known to the Romans,[3] and are used all year round. In winter, they have provided heat for houses and the church as district heating since the 14th Century;[4][5] from spring the waters are channeled to the spa for the treatment of rheumatics.
The Remontalou crosses the commune.
