December 24, 2009
Travelers seeking a more zen type of vacation in France can find their nirvana at Inter-Hotels
Many tourists visiting France love to cover as much ground as possible. They are easily spotted, guide book in one hand and camera in the other. And who could blame them , with all that there is to see and experience in France? But for other travelers, a relaxing holiday in France is all about rest, renewal, recharging. For them, France is best experienced after a relaxing sea algae treatment and massage, gazing out to sea from their lounge chair, sipping mineral water from a nearby spring, with absolutely nothing on the itinerary for the rest of the day at their French hotel with pool and sauna except an excellent dinner.
As a matter of fact, France is the ideal destination for a spa vacation. While a relatively new trend in the US, spa hotels in France are a long-established tradition, especially with so many world-famous famous natural spa sites. Whole towns and tourist destinations have sprung up around these sources, one of which is simply the ocean. Thalassotherapy (treatments based on sea water) is just one popular French beauty and stress-reduction “secret” that people in France have known about and enjoyed for years as part of trips to their beautiful coast.
One French hotel website gives spa and fitness addicts the inside track on spa hotels in France. Inter Hotel is a network of 271 independent two- and three-star hotels all over France, all different, distinct and authentic to their regions, yet all upholding quality standards that membership demands. The hotels cater to different styles and interests, from gastronomy to watersports, to those geared more toward families. For those who want a truly relaxing holiday in France or for more active types whose ideal getaway is a fitness weekend in France, Inter-Hotel’s website is a great place to begin your search for nirvana, your perfect French spa hotel.
For example, Inter-Hotel Lou Paradou in Provence is located in the heart of a small spa village, only steps away from natural hot springs, with such rejuvinating onsite amenities as a beautiful heated swimming pool. The owners suggest many packages for both spa and sports enthusiasts If you do feel up to venturing out for a bit of leisurely sightseeing, Aix-en-Provence and other local sights are only a short drive.
Or try Inter-Hotel de La Place in the heart of world-famous Vichy, where you can choose from an assortment of spa treatments a la carte or enjoy nearby golf or a lazy day by the lake.
