As the birthplace of thalassotherapy and home to some of France’s finest spas, Brittany is the destination for a wellbeing holiday.  Here’s our top 3 reasons why you should consider Brittany for your next pampering break.

1. Brittany: the birthplace of thalassotherapy

What is thalassotherapy?

Thalasso in Greek means ’sea’ so thalassotherapy is seawater therapy. The first thalassotherapy centre opened in Brittany more than 100 years ago. Thalassotherapy harnesses the curative and beneficial properties of the sea and the marine environment for your health and wellbeing.

A programme of treatments using Brittany’s mineral-rich seawater, marine mud, seaweed and iodised sea air is carefully put together along with nutritionally balanced eating and gentle exercise to deliver effective holistic results. Choose from a whole range of dedicated packages: mother and baby, slimming, detox, stop smoking, muscular aches and pains.

2. Brittany’s spas

Following the example of Brittany’s trail-blazing thalassos, the region’s spas offer professional expertise to the highest standard. Quietly luxurious sanctuaries combine the latest techniques with scientifically researched product ranges and traditional treatments to relax, pamper and indulge. Get away from it all in blissful serenity.

3. Brittany’s aromatherapy and massage breaks

Aimed at beginners with a passion for aromatherapy, why not try this residential aromatherapy weekend which will introduce you to this holistic therapy that treats the person as a whole; learn to create essential oils to compliment your daily life as well as learning hand, foot and Indian head massage.

Be Breizh! The Brittany effect

‘Be Breizh!’ and as breizh is the Breton word for Brittany, it’s an invitation to get to know the real Brittany. Get under the skin of the region, breathe in its restorative sea air and come back transformed, invigorated and with a whole new lease of life… it’s the Brittany effect.
