I feel grape

Have you ever dreamt at the end of a working week to transport yourself to Bordeaux?

We know how to do that and it’s faster than a trip by TGV. All you need is to book a face and body spa treatment in one of Caudalie Boutique Spa.

It’s Sunday morning and while Parisians are having petit-dejeuner, I’m on my way to Caudalie spa boutique in le Marais to have my facial treatment. I absolutely love the idea of spending an hour in a relaxing atmosphere without leaving Paris.

It seems that I know every single product of this beauty brand that I’ve been using for more than 6 years now. I remember discovering their serum by chance in Monoprix back in 2012 that smelt so good and instantly reminded me of my trip to vineyards of Saint-Emilion (close to Bordeaux). Since then I always have Caudalie products in my beauty case.

What I love about Caudalie is their commitment to selecting natural, environmentally-friendly and active ingredients for their products (organic grape water, botanical and essential oils).

Did you know that in 1995, thanks to research conducted by Professor Vercauteren, Caudalie was the first brand to offer cosmetics with stabilized grape-seed Polyphenols, one of the most powerful anti-oxidants found in nature*. Polyphenols defend the skin against free-radicals attacks, acting as an anti-oxidant shield. Since I travel quite often, it’s very important to know that my beauty products protect my skin from negative impacts caused by long-haul flight, unbalanced life and stress during the trips.

Every time I watch this video, I’m about to book a few days’ stay in this gorgeous Palace Hotel called Les Sources de Caudalie, located between vineyards and forests just a few minutes away from Bordeaux.

If you live outside of France, check Caudalie website to find a spa boutique in your city.
