2022-03-27T06:24:03.533Z


With the arrival of fine weather, both mental and physical feel the need to wipe the slate clean of the harsh winter. For a boost of energy and a steely mind, here are our addresses in Normandy where massage is not just synonymous with pleasure.


In Étretat, for a breath of invigorating sea air

Not far from the cliffs of Étretat, the

Donjon

, a 19th century Anglo-Norman castle transformed into an intimate family hotel, has just expanded its spa offer.

We tested.

  • Stays in France: weekends, hotels and tailor-made stays from our partners

We like:

the possibility of following a treatment course exclusively outdoors.

Heated swimming pool in the park and massage table installed on the terrace of one of the towers, next to the jacuzzi, invite you to relax.

Not forgetting the brand new sauna, also located in the hotel grounds, with a view of the sea.

In a few hours:

try this

outdoor course

, go from the swimming pool to the sauna, passing through the vegetable garden and the beehives and ending with a massage with Etretat pebbles from the top of the tower.

The diffuse heat of the stones will help to completely relax the nervous system while stimulating lymphatic and blood circulation.

In a few days:

yoga, sophrology, hypnosis, reflexology or even laughter yoga... Several times a year, the Donjon offers thematic well-being stays that allow you to fully recharge your batteries.

The heated outdoor pool all year round is the starting point of the well-being course designed only outdoors when the weather allows it to be in touch with nature.

We come here to recharge our batteries in complete privacy.

In Deauville, to recharge the batteries in complete peace of mind

The hotel's swimming pool is also that of the spa.

A classic Norman style and a sunroof on sunny days give it an incomparable charm.

Within the mythical Normandy hotel in Deauville hides one of the best spas in the region.

Far from the classic cozy decoration of the rest of the establishment, the

Aérial spa

promises a total change of scenery from the moment you arrive.

Walls hidden behind floating and immaculate curtains, whispers of rigor, broad smiles and fluid movements of the practitioners... Here, Charles Baudelaire was heard, everything is luxury, calm and voluptuousness.

It is "Aerial Wellbeing for the future" which offers its universe and its method, a brand that can be found in Tigre Yoga in Paris.

A mixture of ancestral Chinese energy techniques and cutting-edge technologies, the care is above all global: massages and energizing treatments, menus based on chrononutrition, yoga and pilates with the Le Tigre school.

We like:

the almost absolute tranquility and the futuristic atmosphere that gives the feeling of being in a spaceship of the next millennium, the ultra-soft heated treatment beds and the great professionalism of the team that helps you let go .

In a few hours:

the more adventurous will opt for a

Chi Nei Tsang belly massage.

For 50 minutes, your belly is gently and deeply massaged to release tension, both organ and emotional.

Impressive.

To start with a comprehensive care, choose the

bio-energetic massage

, adapted to your needs as the practitioner proceeds.

A mixture of relaxing and soothing massage and energetic pressure for a tailor-made treatment from which you emerge deeply rejuvenated.

In a few days:

the spa offers cures over three days and two nights at the hotel.

With 4 treatments per day and an adapted menu, this is a complete program to recover from winter, regain vitality and calm down.

Ultra-modern cabins with absolute comfort for futuristic treatments whose results on the general condition are impressive.

In the heart of Swiss Normandy, the

La Pommeraye spa

, a former 18th century stud farm, is known to all enthusiasts for its ultra-professional services and its commitment to preserving the privacy of each client.

The eight practitioners are trained at the Santayarea massage school, a guarantee of professionalism.

We like:

the systematic privatization of the large swimming pool-sauna-hammam area, with a special mention to the impressive central wood stove which gives a feeling of immediate comfort.

Professional massages based on ancestral Chinese, Indian, Thai, Balinese, Japanese techniques and adapted to the West.

In a few hours:

opt for the course with access to the private swimming pool then to the sauna and hammam before letting go in the expert hands of one of the practitioners during a

massage-shiatsu

session .

Without oil, closer to a shiatsu session, with an important place given to well-being, the massage is made of intense pressure on different areas of the body with the desire to rebalance the energies.

We come out calm and relaxed.

In a few days:

the spa offers à la carte daily courses, to be adapted according to the first session, the shiatsu massage, which allows you to understand everyone's needs.

Here, intimacy is a golden rule.

The sauna-hammam-swimming pool area is always privatized.
