la prairie 2

Am always fascinated by who comes to places like this…and although it’s almost full…hardly see anybody. Occasionally pass in a corridor or at spa reception…and see a few in the dining room. Mostly Europeans at the moment – women with scary faces and eavesdropping gather none of them done here! silly…

a couple of very elegant elderly Italian couples and a rathar good looking Asian couple, could be Korean, could be Taiwanese. Spa area very ordered and smooth running, while the medical centre the soul of discretion.
Food is delicious if a tad fancy, although wildly healthy – grills, baked, salads and wonderful broths …many paying lip-service to the growing element of the clientele with a smattering of Asian fusion tastes.
Had a great yoga session today with Veronique. V worried because my back playing up at the moment but she just concentrated on gentle ways to create the spaces at the base of the spine and bewteen the vertebrae.
Terrible music throughout – but then I hate most spa music

la prairie

How it’s grown! When I was last here Clinique La Prairie consisted of just two buildings – a medical centre and the Residence…it now has four…but it is still compact with just 69 rooms. The spa, though, has grown and is v impressive with 17 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy, chromotherapy, steams and saunas as well as rather glamorous pool and a host of massages and beauty treatments.

Over at the medical centre, where here are also rooms and suites you can have your bone density scanned, get a new hip, new face, new boobs or simply have a filler or two, not to mention its renowned Revitalisation Therapy – cells taken from sheep embryos which once were injected into your buttocks…but now you can take orally.

Had a terrific yoga session this morning with Veronique. I haven’t done yoga for years having had a bad fall…and this woman not only gave me back confidence, but also did wonders for my aching back with special asanas
