Though those are efficient ways to stay warm in the French capital, there's also going to a spa. From relaxing in a sauna to taking a dip in a hot tub, you can warm up in Paris during winter by luxuriating in some of the city's finest spas!

French designer brands has put up their very own spa? The five-star luxury hotel, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, houses Institut Dior, one of the most glamorous spas in the city. The place is known to offer the best facials in the world, making use of the

Spa Charme d’Orient
Among the many Hammams in Paris, Spa Charme d’Orient is definitely worth checking out. Located in the upscale
Marais district, you can already tell that you'll receive first-class service here. But what truly makes this place a must-see is its authentic Turkish bath. Its heavily Middle Eastern interior is filled with orange-blossomed bath streams, scented candles, gentle music, and more. Though you might have to be a bit more daring with what you expose as you walk around here, it's a small price to pay for the ultimate relaxation that you'll get to enjoy.

Mosaic Spa by Decleor & Carita
Although there's a lot to look forward to in the Mosaic Spa by Decleor & Carita in Hotel du Collectionneur, its
pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the super-sized jacuzzi. Complete with massage jets to keep your body at its peak, you can take as long of a hot dip as you want here.

Le Roch
Finally, there's Le Roch, a hotel & spa worth visiting. This place has it all: a black lava-made pool, a hot hammam, its own fitness center, multiple treatment rooms, and more. But let's focus on the first two since it's winter. The pool in Le Roch, which is rather spacious and beautifully brightened by natural light, is actually connected to the nearby hammam. In fact, you don't even need to get out in order to reach the latter. You can stay submerged as you venture into the hottest corners of this spa. What's not to love?
