Vigilius Mountain Resort : Cosy Pool and Yoga

Posted on June 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

7 a.m. I leave my room to go to the pool

with large windows and wooden structures, opened on a beautiful landscape and a large wooden deck. The feeling of swimming among trees changes everything! No use of chlorine either, replaced by a natural process less odorous.

You don’t exercise, you slip on the water among the top of trees.

Two basins: the left one is big enough for a real swimming session (pictue above). While the right one is a whirlpool (picture below). The water temperature is hotter, because half of the basin is outside.

Then I decide to do a yoga class. I’m not a big fan of yoga and all the “show” that goes with it! But I’m supposed to pampering my back… body and soul!

And great surprise, the course is a blend of Hatha Yoga, Chi Gong (breathing)… the kind of I can link postures like a slow motion danse (a bit weird, I know!), in a big room with light wood, large windows open on the trees and thanks : no guru image (no comment!). It’s magic, it changes everything, even yoga, could you imagine? LOL!

Les Etangs De Corot: The Bucolic Hotel Near Paris

Posted on December 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Following my previous post

about the Paul and Joe’s Suite in the hotel Les Etangs de Corots : here the outsides I really enjoyed. A sweet incentive to contemplation and farniente (yes, just doing nothing!). Yes, even the fashion addict in me, needs relaxing breaks (lol!). The iPod plays Zara McFarlane (a London jazzy discovery, in a coming-up post).

Picture 1 : like in the South of de France (and Marcel Pagnol’s books), I feel totally de-stressed and so far away from the Paris cacophony (a bless!). Picture 2 : the room balcony calming view of ponds. Picture 3 : a listed guinguette from the late 19th or the beginning of the 20th century! Like in Renoir ou Carné’s movies with Arletty (a famous French actress and muse). Pictue 4 : the sleek covered deck of Café des Artistes, for a tasteful lunch, chatting with another ardent traveler, Pauline Pawlowski (last picture 5). I gave you this charming adress, please kept it confidential!
