It’s not just about the beach. Wherever you are in the region, there is a spa experience awaiting you nearby. Try a Hammam experience at the Zein Oriental Spa , at Le Lieu Unique, Nantes. A former biscuit factory, it is one of the biggest stem baths in France. The use of traditional Moroccan materials contrasts with this industrial environment of 650m2 and provide an amazing sensory experience.

If you want to be by the river, in one of the most beautiful villages in France, you should go to La Marine de Loire Hotel in Montsoreau. This charming hotel is the perfect starting point for a tour of the Loire Valley and offers a well-being spa stay which includes room, breakfast, dinner, a 2 hour massage and an essential oil bath.

For those of you whose partners are crazy for golf and you are not keen to caddy, there are plenty of opportunities to ‘chillax’ while your partner hits the green. A great example is the Relais & Châteaux, Bretesche Hotel . While you settle down to a relaxing massage, your other half can be perfecting his swing on the 18-hole course.
