Spa

I am looking for a day spa for my husband and i to get couples massages - any suggestions?

The FourSeasons George V has a very extensive spa menu which includes a couple%26#39;s massage:

We have been to les Bain du Marais a few times over the years.

This past xmas I treated my husband to the full %26#39;spa experience%26#39; - steam/gommage/massage (about 3 hours in all)

They have lady days, men days and couple days - on mixed days you must wear a swimsuit in the steam rooms. It%26#39;s open until quite late.

It is really quite a lovely place but not cheap. It%26#39;s on Rue des Blancs Manteaux and here%26#39;s the website (french only).

This is a question for janesatelier. I looked at the site for -les bains du marais. It looks lovely. Would it be dificult for a non French speaking person (like myself) to have a nice time there? It sems like a great idea for a Monday when all of the museums are closed. I%26#39;m sure I could have our hotel make the reservation, but once I got there would it be an issue? Also 35 euros doesn%26#39;t seem like much for a massage? Am I missing something?

Hi Minko,

Each time I have been the guys on the front desk speak some english. My husband goes alone and speaks no french at all, except the usual %26#39;bonjour%26#39; and %26#39;merci%26#39;. I have not had a problem telephoning for an appointment and never feel %26#39;out of place%26#39; there.

The 35 EU, I believe is for half hour and doesn%26#39;t include the Hammam/Sauna. We usually get one of the full packages:

%26#39;Journee Beaute Soins du Corps%26#39; 130EU

Hammam/Sauna first then Gommage then a long oiled Massage 130EU.

or the %26#39;Journee Beaute%26#39; package 70EU:

Hammam/Sauna + Gommage + shorter Massage

If you look on the website under %26#39;Formules%26#39; you%26#39;ll see the different packages.

The %26#39;Gommage%26#39; is when they scrub your body with what feels like a yard broom but is actually a rough mitt. You won%26#39;t believe how soft your skin feels after.

They have lockers for your %26#39;stuff%26#39; and provide robes, towels, slippers etc. There is a wonderful %26#39;relaxing%26#39; room to take a nap in afterward and a nice cafe to have tea or something. We found the place by accident about 5 years ago and now make it a point to go at least once each year.
