At Cottages du Tarn, our senses marveled at the sight of the very first snowflakes! A soft, pleasant atmosphere took us back to our childhood memories of snow as a synonym for vacations and the pleasures of life. A moment when time stands still, letting our imaginations transport us to sweet, pleasant moments. The caress of the snow makes us want to enjoy it, to observe every detail of nature as it delicately covers itself in its little white coat.

How to keep warm in winter in the Tarn ?

The calm of the snowflakes can give us the impression that time stands still for a few moments. It’s an invitation to take it easy, go on vacation and relax in front of a hot drink. As outside temperatures cool, our bodies feel the need for warmth and comfort; either under the softness of a plaid in front of a good Netflix series, or in a pleasant sauna with its many therapeutic virtues to warm and regenerate our whole body?

What are the benefits of a sauna ?

In winter, our skin can become dry and in need of care. The heat of the sauna will allow the skin’s pores to dilate and open up, facilitating the elimination of blackheads and toxins, before a scrub and moisturizing treatment!

What’s more, a 30-minute session in an infrared sauna burns the same number of calories as a 10 km run!

Does our body burn calories during a sauna session ?

Indeed, the heat emitted by the infrared sauna makes us sweat, enabling our bodies to eliminate toxins and consequently burn fat. This action strengthens our cardiac capacity, accelerates blood circulation and relaxes all tensions.

What are the benefits of an infrared sauna for the body ?

We’ve all found that heat soothes our aches and pains and relaxes our body’s contractures. When you enjoy a sauna, the heat produced will positively influence our inner metabolism by dilating our vessels and accelerating our blood circulation.

What’s more, infrared saunas use type C rays, known as “far rays”, which penetrate our skin no more than 4 mm, just enough to warm our bodies without harming them.

Can massage and sauna be combined ?

A full-body massage is the perfect end to this relaxing break, amplifying the sauna’s detoxifying effect.

To organize this moment of pleasure to the full, you can make an appointment with Isabelle , Isabelle, Traditional Thai Massage Practitioner at l’Art de Bien-Etre in Peyrole (less than 10 km from Brens).
