JOÏYA
Review by Ally Wallace: Located in a very chic part of Paris, you will enjoy wondering the back alleys, admiring the incredible window displays, popular and busy restaurants, busy real agents....now back to the spa! The ambiance is everything you would expect in this district; it is calm, quiet and very zen. After departing with my shoes, I was led downstairs for a massage with essential oils. It was an enjoyable 45 mins but not what I like in a massage. I really needed my muscles worked hard and perhaps I choose the wrong treatment as it was really the light touch approach.
However, take a look at their full range of treatments ; 1/2 day treatment come with a Bento box in the heart of Paris, now that's healthy!

Ban Thai Spa
A visit to this authentic Thai massage studio was a delight. It was clean, efficient and they were very efficient in twisting my body to relax muscles. One hour is more than enough to have every muscle manipulated ‘the thaï way’. If only I could have utilized a loyalty card, I’d be back every week.
