Although Aix en Provence has long been known for its thermal baths, there are many independent massage and wellness salons there, which allow for a more intimate experience that is at least as soothing and relaxing.
Theframe
A small massage parlor will most of the time offer you a very personalized setting, and much warmer than a sometimes “sanitized” massage center. Of course, you have to find a salon with a style that suits you, but there's plenty to choose from.
Massage
Your masseur, or your masseuse is not an employee. It is often an experienced masseur, who has created his own business and will necessarily be more involved in the smooth running of your session and your satisfaction.
The relationship
Again, with a small massage parlour, you will only have one interlocutor. As a result, over time, you will maintain a relationship of trust with your masseur.
The offer
The owner of a small massage center must find solutions to stand out. And often, these are full of originality to offer you formulas with aesthetic treatments, an original setting, an exotic meal, an atmosphere...
As we have seen, above all, depending on the atmosphere that should suit you:rather zen, rather oriental, rather modern...it's up to you!
Then, and this is probably the most important, for the skills of the masseur:it is still the goal of your session, so find out about the training, diplomas and experience of your masseur.
Finally, choose according to the type of massage offered:it goes without saying that an Ayurvedic massage does not give the same sensations as a Californian massage or a session of Chinese reflexology. What do you need, and what does the massage center offer.
