Parisian heat, all year long: Hammam and sauna in Paris

The Marais remains a very attractive place for whoever wants to feel the heat in Paris. The area is ideally located at the heart of everything and enjoys a very bubbly atmosphere with young fashion creators’ shops and other small artisanal boutiques during day light and its bars and restaurants in the evening. Not to mention that this is the Parisian gay area by excellence. This together brings aliveness and unexpected colors into the small streets of Le Marais.

But even during winter the heat goes on. Les Bains du Marais has become an institution for a lot of locals. This hammam and sauna place offers some of the best treat in Paris. The main steam room is ideal for long rests. The sauna and hot steam room will do the rest of the treat.

As for black soap massage and skin cleaning, you can use the main steam room to self indulge you or get a proper clean from one of the, tough and rough but efficient masseurs. After a couple of hours there, make sure you take the time for a mint tea before joining back the outside world.

There is really so much to do and see in the Marais part of Paris that it would be hard to list all the possibilities, suffice to say there the area has an abundance of excellent cafes, bars and restaurants and is in my opinion, the best part of the city in which to stay as a tourist.
