About
A women-only hammam a few steps from the Opera in Lyon's first arrondissement. The steam room can be booked on its own for up to an hour and a half, or combined with a body scrub, jacuzzi time or a massage. Swimsuits are required; towels, sandals and a locker are provided.
Good to know
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
- Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
