A year Removed from the Summer Games, Paris’ Post-Olympics Offers Include New Stays for Facials, Food and Fashion

LOCals and Vistors Alike Have Plenty of Reasons to Visit Paris, But On A Recent Trip to The City of Lights, I Found Myself Wanting To Well, Lighten Up. That’s how i ended up at the Valmont Spa at Le Meurice for a Day of Rest and Renewal.

Opened in 1835 on rue de rue de rivoli in paris’ chic 1st ArrodissementLe Meurice Has Long Been Hailed As the Gold Standard of Luxury Living, with Its Stately Suits and Commanding Lobby that Feels at Once Cavernous and Intimate. Offen referred to as ”L’Hotel des rois“(Or the” hotel of kings “), Le Meurice Cemented that Status Official in 2011 WHEN IT BECAME The FIRST PROPERTY to be Awarded Official” Palace Years Preceding and Since.

Now, A year Removed from the 2024 Summer Olympics, Le Meurice – and Much of Paris – Continues to Welcome Guest from All Countries (and Yes, All Nobilities Too). The Latest Paris Tourism Statistics Report Air Travel Up 13% from this Time Last Year, with Overnight Hotel Stays Up ALMOST 8%.

But The Hotel the Hotel Itelle ITSELF IS GRAND AND OPULENT, ITS VALMONT SPA IS PURPOSEFUSEFULLY DISCREET, TUCKED AWAY TO A LOWER LOWER Level Far from The Movements of The Lowements of The Lowements of The Louements of The Lower Lever of The Lower Lever Lever Lever Lever Lever Lever. Above. The SPA is Suited for Relaxation, of Course, But It’s Designed For Results. That means a small sauna and outdoor terrace, but no pool, Jacuzzi or Steam Room. You’re here for the Treatments – and Remedies.

For me, that meant indulging in one of the spa’s signature facials, which promissed to bring my stressed and tire Skin backs.

After a brief consultation, my facialist suggested a custom mix of the spa’s “purity of the alps” Treatment – Said to “Restore Your Radiance and Enhance Your Naturala” – ALONGEYUS “RE-PLUMPS YOU SKIN, ALLOWING IT to REGAIN Comfort and Radiance.”

Slowly But Intenationally, My Facialist Worked Through A Range of Valmont Products that Addressed My Motst Pressing Skin Issues: A Cleansing Foam to Remove Built-UNEK. Streets; a hyaluronic acid Serum to Plump and Moisturize; and a tipst-quenting mask for a dose of instant-and intense-hydration.

IT Sounds Like Hyperbole But My Skin Felt Entirely Softer, Lighter and More Relaxed. My Jaw Was Unclenched and Forehead Lifted, and I Began to Drift Off Into A State of Transquility.

Valmont’s World-Renowned Treatments Are Backed by Decdes of Experience, and The Brand’s Products Were on Likes of Coco Chanel and Grace Kelly. As i laily backs on the heated table in the secrene Space of the Le Meurice Spa (Aka La Maison Valmont Pour Le Meurice), I Couldn’t Help But Wonder How Many Stars Had Passed Through These Same Halls – and these Same Expert Hands – Before. How Trly Luxurious to Indulge in Such A Restorate Experience, and How Rare to Find A Moment of Solitude Amidst the Hustle and Bustle of Life.

After a Cooling Eye Mask, A Nourishing Lip Treatment, and Some Fancy Fingerwork to Lift and Tighten The Neckline, My Treatment Was Complete. “Your Skin Really Need that,” My Facialist Remarked.

I Think I Really Needed That Too.
