For the launch of the new sporty and detox package deal weekend at the magnificent Trianon Palace , together, and romantically, we tested this new Boot-camp fitness offer.Our tailor-made program was all about well-being, sport, detox and beauty ..We spent an amazing moment in this bucolic and luxury retreat.. What a day !!!
Here is the story ..
1/ Boot Camp :
We begin with a good boot camp workout with a breathtaking view of the gardens in the “château de Versailles”.. What a thrill !! The view is simply so beautiful that we actually almost forget that we are doing sport. It is surreal to be jogging and doing squats in the castle grounds!! The sun is shining, and the gardens are not crowded with visitors, just yet. It feels almost as if the park is ours and ours alone.. For one hour our little group is training hard, running, doing squats, pumps, dips, finishing up with a sprint all the way back.. This “ royal” workout was an absolutely magnificent experience …
2/ Yoga :
There’s nothing like a relaxing yoga session in the hotel solarium to recover after boot camp .. It feels indescribably good.. The Lolë ambassador instructor is brilliant… We leave feeling relaxed, reloaded (or unloaded as the case may be) and specifically zen and smiling .. The temptation to take a nap on the deck chairs in the Solarium is overpowering..
3/ Lunch :
Small gourmet break and detox for lunch .. Yes because all these activities dig deep. Direction; one of the restaurants of the hotel to taste the amazing detox, and healthy menu, concocted by chef Simone Zanoni .. Of course ours is a vegetarian version.. We proceed to feast on home-made juices,raw vegetables, wok cooked vegetables, and pineapple carpaccio for dessert…
4/ Aquaerobics ..
After a nice break, we resume the sport, but this time, we put on our bathing suits for a session of aquaerobics in the swimming pool of the Trianon palace .. Here we work our legs, arms, and abs .. A lot of fun, and much harder than I thought, we can feel our thighs working hard which is always a good sign 😉
5/ Massage !!
And finally, to end this great day, comes an hour of massage in sublime Guerlain spa.. Having perspired to the max we all waited for our reward .. the “Body lift” massage, which comes just at the right moment.. Everyone chooses a scent to perfume their cabin, and then off we go for 1 hour of absolute relaxation and tranquility. I lie down with delight on the heated table in my cabin perfumed with scented oils.. The feeling is out of this world.. The Body lift massage is intended to relax the muscles after working out, calm the aches, pains and any tension in the body.. Anyway I was so relaxed and felt so good that I dropped off on the massage table… And I think I was not the only one ..
The end ..
To sum up, we absolutely loved this experience, which unites relaxation, nature, luxury and sport, and all this in the most sublime setting, just a few kilometers from Paris. This is an excellent idea for a mothers day gift or for a hen do, or simply a weekend away with friends or your other half…
