Treat yourself to a Sunday Reset at Château de Bagnols in the Beaujolais region, a hidden gem for unwinding just 40 minutes from Lyon. On the agenda for this afternoon: Pilates Flow in the gardens, a gourmet Tea Time, and Goodie Bags in a setting steeped in history. Listed as a Historic Monument, Château de Bagnols and its surroundings are a true gem with a touch of Tuscany—in short, the perfect combination for a Sunday dedicated to wellness.
There’s nothing like a good massage to pamper yourself. The Tui Na Institute is one of our favorites in Lyon! The Tui Na technique is an ancient Chinese method originally used for therapeutic purposes. Here, the basics are applied but often in more relaxing variations. There are also detox massages and other types of wellness treatments. We highly recommend this place!
