Tasting of a French tea time at the Ritz Hotel in Paris (France)
On the occasion of Anh’s birthday, I surprised her by inviting her to discover the French tea time proposed by the hotel du Ritz. For several years now, we have been used to going for a drink in top-of-the-range hotels. If the drinks are of course more expensive than in a classic bar, we appreciate the quietness, the beauty of the decoration and the quality of the service. Today, on our way to the Ritz, it is nevertheless another level that we discover! We arrive at 2:30 pm, time of our reservation made by phone a few weeks earlier.

My Dr. Hauschka Facial at Maison Hauschka in Paris
After being won over by the Dr. Hauschka Purifying Care Set, I took advantage of my stay in Paris to offer me and my sister the famous Dr. Hauschka Plenitude Care… at the Maison Dr. Hauschka. Well, Hauschka treatments can be done at any of the brand’s trained estheticians, but for a first treatment, I still prefer to go to the (official) institute – especially for the place, built in a responsible/feng shui manner, a real haven of peace nestled in a courtyard.
