I happened upon this place by accident while in the Marais and was initially turned off by the very "Parisian" air of what seemed like snobbery- but as I settled in, my mind completely changed. There are no false airs of welcome for this place, but just very authentic and totally transforming treatments. I experienced the traditional "hammam" that included steam and then a thorough rubdown by a <very strong> Frenchwoman with the most delicious smelling 'black soap' that transformed my skin to babysoft. For days afterwards my skin gleamed! I will definately include this wonderful place in my future visits to Paris. I purchased the products that are offered in the spa, and was so pleased to find them also sold in the United States, including the black soap that I loved so much. The fragrances offered by the spa are out of this world. The very best accident in a long while!
