Why Paris?
With fall a few weeks away that means that some destinations in Europe will become more affordable especially for those with a limited travel budget. If that is your case, you have chosen the right time to visit Paris . I would like to share with you guys 5 wellness &health ideas that I hope will make you turn your Parisian vacation into your next or first wellness travel destination.
Why Fall?
Fall is a great time to visit Paris because:
- Air fares are cheaper
It means that you will be able to scoop airline tickets at a fraction of their costs.
- Cheaper hotel accomodations
Hotels, hostels and apartment rentals during that time of the year would cost you less than during the high peek summer travel
- Mild weather
The weather in Paris at that time is very mild. Sunny during the day and cool in the evening. If you love cool temperatures, you will not be disappointed.
- Fewer crowds
Most tourists are gone so you get to truly enjoy the city and mingle with locals.
- Great transportation system
You will be able to travel by metro, bus or ride your bike to visit touristic spots easily.
If that sounds good to you then great because we arent the only ones that think that Paris is a great city as well.

Now let’s dive into the purpose of this blog post
5 Wellness &Health Ideas To Try In Paris
- BOOK A FANCY SPA AT A 5 * HOTEL
When it comes to luxury hotels, there are plenty to choose from and some are really at the top of their game and offer one of a kind luxury spa treatments. Cheval Blanc Paris wants to be your destination away from the busy and noisy streets of Paris for wellness and total relaxation. Book your next spa day with them here.
- SHOP FOR ORGANIC PRODUCTS AND ESSENTIAL OILS
One of the most well-known locations here is Aroma Zone. They have two shops in Paris including a spa.
- TAKE A DAY TRIP TO NORMANDY
If you don’t drive or cannot drive go by train. There are trains leaving from Gare Saint Lazare as early as 7am in the morning arriving in Dieppe 2h22 minutes later. Take a walk along the beautiful streets of Dieppe and book an appointment for a afternoon spa or just to use the sea water pool at le Spa Océane with a view on the ocean and the château museum of the city of Dieppe. Book your train ticket from Paris to Dieppe on the official railway company of France here. Spa Océane is a 15 minute walk from the train station. The great thing about it is that you can use that time to take photos, stroll down the streets, stop at a local coffee shop and visit the marina nearby.
- BOOK A PILATE OR SOFT GYM CLASS
When it comes to fitness, let me tell you that there are plenty to choose here. If you plan to stay a bit longer than a day or two, how about releasing some stress and tensions by signing up for a pilates or soft gym class. One might be just a few minutes away. Check with your hotel front desk on how you can sign up for one of their classes.
EAT RIGHT
Last but not least is another wellness &health idea to try in Paris especially if youare a foodie. More and more Parisians love to eat and cook with organic products and ingredients. We love to indulge in gourmet food, however, the eat-clean food scene is also a part of the Parisian lifestyle. Wild and the Moon is one of the references that comes to mind. They have several locations around town. I am familiar only with their restaurant/shop located in Place du Marché Saint Honoré in Paris 1st district. Grab your salads, cold-pressed juice, green smoothies, soups and so forth…
