SPA LA BELLE JULIETTE

An experience to begin in the very pretty pool, equipped with massaging hydrojets and counter-current swimming, before continuing in the hammam. for a steam bath.

We love her famous Union Jack flat-heeled shoes or her boots decorated with metallic stars, but also her babies and her derbys, always easy to wear to run from an appointment to another.     29 […]

There are no animal ingredients and the synthetic preservatives are reduced to the minimum and are replaced by vegetable products. We also like the […]

LUBIN

Everything started with Pierre-François Lubin, who created his Maison de Parfumerie (Perfume shop) in 1798, to give to “Incroyables” (the Incredible Dandies) and to “Merveilleuses” (the fine ladies) (our ancestors!) perfumed ribbons, masks for balls and face powder, but most of all, his famous “eau vivifiante”(invigorating-bracing water) which became “L’Eau de Lubin” (Lubin’s Water).
