The most beautiful avenue in the world rhymes with luxury. But did you know that it is possible to spend a real moment of well-being there for less than 20 euros? I tell you my experience.
Stress, anxiety, torment… some periods are more difficult to live with than others (especially when the sun is as rare as a lipstick that survives a sandwich). The best thing to do? Take care of yourself! For this, there is nothing better than a good relaxing massage. The problem is that this activity is not cheap. But I invite you to take out your notebook and a pencil: I have a superb address to share with you.
Come to a boutique on the Champs-Elysées for twenty minutes of escape! You can choose a slot from Monday to Sunday, between 10 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. On the program? Relief of physical tension and calming of muscle contractions. All this, thanks to hot water. It is therefore a hydromassage.
Let me tell you my experience: lying on a pleasant water mattress with a blanket, I am lulled by the movement of the water. Above is a dome projecting light, nature sounds and the exquisite scent of lavender and cedar wood. In front, there is a screen on which I can personalize my massage: the intensity of the pressure, the light and the volume of the music. The session begins. I feel pleasant circular movements in the back of my neck. They walk on their backs, buttocks, legs, feet, the back of their heads… It’s absolutely magical! I struggle not to fall asleep to enjoy all these sensations. The best part? You can keep your clothes on, just take off the shoes. Well, enough suspense, this moment of relaxation is offered by the Rituals brand at 33, avenue des Champs-Elysées on the upper floor of the store. The experience has a name: Mind Oasis and it only costs €19.90. The only flaw? The minutes go by too quickly!
It’s an ideal gift for the upcoming Christmas! First of all, it doesn’t break the bank and what’s more, it’s a great moment of well-being. Moreover, it is also an opportunity to visit our beautiful capital. And if your budget allows it, you can add a mental relaxation session at €29.50 for 30 minutes. This is a closed cabin, in which you lie in a “Zero Gravity” chair. Breathing exercises, vibrations and sound stimuli are then offered in order to achieve perfect letting go.
Want to try it out or share it with someone close to you? Do not hesitate to make an appointment on the Rituals website. Booking is very easy, and it’s worth it!
