Les Bains du Marais
Despite the name, Les Bains du Marais has stood on rue Saint-Fiacre in the Sentier quarter of the 2nd arrondissement since leaving the Marais after a 2016 takeover. Its hammam and sauna are mixed most of the week with set women-only and men-only sessions, and the house scrub ends with a Turkish foam wash using a cloth.

About Les Bains du Marais
The house scrub begins in the moist heat of the hammam, then a practitioner spreads black soap made from black olives and eucalyptus oil over the body and works it off with a kessa glove. The hammam has two double cabins and four scrub tables, and the house adds a sauna and ten treatment rooms. Next door the Mediterranean restaurant seats up to 70 and serves a weekend brunch that the house suggests before or after a visit to the spa.
