THE STORY: During the Belle Epoque, invalids rested in the clean, fir-scented air of La Ville d’Hiver. Times have changed and now, in what used to be the Arcachon water factory, we chill out by the pool, purr with delight in the opulent rooms and get organically pampered. Making it perfect for summer or winter detoxes. Rooms from €140 to €245.

SPA: Treatments starting at €40 (Dr. Hauschka products).

BREAKFAST: €13 with wholegrain breads, viennoiseries, croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, Cropsal artisanal jams, plain yogurt, fruits, ham, organic coffee and Mariage Frères teas.
MINI-BAR: No, but there is a bottle of Abatilles mineral water in the room.
LITTLE LUXURY: An erotic library…
