“Paris responds to everything the heart desires. You can have fun, be bored, laugh, cry or do whatever you want without attracting attention, as thousands of people do the same… and anyone what they want,” Chopin always said. The activities available in the French capital can we add one more: beauty treatments aboard a river cruise on the Seine, and all thanks to Dior†
As Haute Couture Fashion Week approaches in Paris, Dior is reviving the spirit of the emblematic Samaritaine spa and embarking on the Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris, on board a boat to enjoy a unprecedented cruise on the Seine† It is an invitation to discover the art of well-being and excellence savoir faire of this iconic place in a different way. And experience a moment of happiness in the heart of Paris, the city Christian Dior loved so much.
Together for almost a year in La Samaritaine, Maisons Dior and Cheval Blanc created Paris an avant-garde vision of skin care, beauty and well-being† Driven by an unprecedented holistic vision, it places the awakening of the skin and the senses at the heart of its philosophy. A truly exceptional location, Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris offers luxury in an unprecedented experience at the height of sophistication, with a two-hour cruise on the Seinein which they are offered 60 minute facial and body treatments† Yes, it is the first floating spa on board a ship that, to make the moment even more exclusive and personal, will only welcome five passengers in its four impressive suites† Beautiful!
Two lower levels house a salon and four treatment cabins (three single beds and one double bed), elegant spaces with warm intimacy. Combining the design codes of Dior and Cheval Blanc Paris, the decor reflects the spirit of luxury ship cabins, embellished with reed motifs and reinterpreted toile de Jouy in a soft beige hue. The single cabin on the lower deck has been extended with a private saloon. The goal is to provide an even more private environment. The wide bay window is protected by a delicate veil and a trompe-l’oeil view of Paris is displayed on the wall. This view, which can only be admired by two people at a time, is inspired by the virtual fresco by the artist Oyoram, installed in the swimming pool of the Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris.
And don’t miss it! At the end of the treatment, passengers are invited to go to the inner lounge or to the terrace on the upper deck to continue the cruise with a cocktail while admiring the most beautiful monuments of Paris until the return to Port Debilly. As the river journey progresses, Monsieur Dior is paid tribute in an invitation to follow in his footsteps on his Parisian walks. Throughout his life, the seamstress felt a deep love for the capital, its architecture and its monuments.
