Three French hotel spas you must go

There are treatments that can be described as exceptional, that moment when time stops and the surroundings take our breath away. These suspended moments where the gestures and the beauty of the place are one are quite rare but they do exist. Standards has traveled the length and breadth of France in search of those hotel spas that stand out not only for the quality of their services but also for the well-being that reigns within these establishments.

Le Domaine de Verchant and its “Shiro Shampi”

A few minutes from Montpellier stands the magnificent Domaine de Verchant, a prestigious green setting belonging to the Relais & Châteaux family. Its spa is equipped with a gym, 8 treatment rooms, a hammam, a sauna, a rest room, a heated indoor pool and an outdoor swimming spa / jacuzzi. A consequent wellness area bathed in light and bordered by the surrounding nature. Open to hotel guests and outsiders alike, the spa has chosen to offer several brands in order to complement each dedicated treatment. A personalized expertise that listens to the client’s body to meet all its needs.

And among its signature treatments, Domaine de Verchant stands out for its Shiro Shampi massage: an Ayurvedic massage of Indian origin that relaxes the body and frees the mind. This 50-minute treatment, which is divided into two parts, focuses on the scalp, neck, trapezius and face. A truly immersive and sensory experience.

Les Roches Blanches and its Tibetan bowl experience

Les Roches Blanches stands majestically on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the hollow of the Cassis creeks. The 5-star hotel has chosen an intimate and luxurious spa designed by the prestigious French skincare and cosmetics brand, Sisley. A true haven of peace with an unobstructed view of Cap Canaille and an unparalleled sense of tranquility. You will be able to enjoy a moment where time stops and where the practitioners will be there to guide you throughout this interlude. A perfect harmony between letting go and contemplation.

At Standards, we were totally won over by the Signature Tibetan Bowl Massage. This 90-minute energetic treatment literally transports us into another dimension by combining mental relaxation techniques, the sound of the Tibetan bowl and enveloping maneuvers for a total rebalancing of the body. A unique experience that aligns our energies and gives us a fresh start!

Le Signature au Bol Tibétain – 90 minutes – 210€

L’Hôtel Lancaster Paris and its private spa

Located just a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées but far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, the Hôtel Lancaster amazes us with its entirely private spa bathed in natural light. The experience begins on the 8th and last floor, not only with the discovery of this suite fitted out as a wellness area, but also with the panoramic view offered from the terrace, from the Sacré Coeur to the Eiffel Tower. A little bubble of serenity just for you that you can also share with the person of your choice.

Take advantage of this place to discover the Terre de Mars brand, whose natural, organic and vegan products have been designed around exclusive protocols for the hotel’s spa. We can only recommend the relaxing signature massage that will plunge you into total plenitude.
