As cities go, there is a lot to see and do in Paris. Probably more so than any other city in the world. If the Louvre isn’t your style, the Musee d’Orsay is, and if not then you can check out the Modern Art at the Pompidou Center. With all this activity, you might need to relax. Enter the Paris Hammam. Here you will get steamed, brushed, scrubbed and massaged. You will leave relaxed, soft, sweetly smelling and full of tea. This is not your average spa style treatment. This is a cleansing ritual. The Hammams in Paris are in the Maghreb or North African tradition, which means that the steam rooms themselves are architectural masterpieces. On arriving at the Hammam you can pay as little as 15 euros entrance, which gives you access to the steam room and cooling rooms. For a little extra you can get black soap, savon noir, a scrubbing gloves, le gant, an exfoliating treatment and a massage. Be sure to bring a bathing suit, flip-flops and a towel. For a more traditional Hammam experience, you can check into the Mosque de Paris in the 5th arrondissement. And for the slightly less adventurous, you can receive a more contemporary spa experience at Les Bain du Marais, in the 4th arrondissement.
