Refreshing New Spa Offerings
For keen hikers and cyclists who have spent the day traversing Mont Ventoux, the new targeted Invigorating Treatment will help soothe their tired muscles. Using a combination of massage techniques and pressotherapy aids physical recovery by draining toxins out of the lymphatic system and reducing the absorption of water into the muscles.

The hotel will also launch a second new treatment this year, the Complex Face Massage by Tata Harper.
