4 French Massages to try for the Ultimate Detox

Unmissable in the world of beauty and well-being, the pinnacle of these detoxing practices is when Martine de Richeville joins forces with the luxury care brand Maison Flamel to transform body and mind on the first floor of the Bon Marché Rive Gauche. Not to be missed, this retreat will leave you feeling reborn and ready to take on the world. For 60 minutes, your body is kneaded using a technique exclusive to Martine de Richeville and her practitioners in their impeccably designed treatment room—from the bottom of your ankles to the top of your back, this deep (and sometimes painful) massage removes even stubborn cellulite.

This regenerating massage has a significant impact on your metabolism, and oxygenates the membranes enveloping your muscles. Besides the lymphatic and metabolic drainage action, this massage is an unbeatable method if you’re looking to sculpt and refine your body. When performed with the Alkemic Balm from Maison Flamel, rich in Omegas 3 and 6, this treatment strengthens your tissues while nourishing the skin. You are sure to come out of this massage feeling ultra-light on your feet with a rejuvenated mind.

Maison Flamel by Martine de Richeville at Bon Marché Rive Gauche, 7/7 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., until August 30.
