Spa Le Bristol, 8th arrondissement
Paris is good at the classics, whether it’s hotels, food, wine or spas. There is a slew of excellent, elegant and traditional spas in the city, many located within palatial hotels. Of these, Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie is the grand dame. Alongside requisite grooming services (which you might need to keep up with the celebrities you’ll inevitably run into in the lobby), there are Tata Harper and La Prairie facials and signature massages which use oils specially created by KOS Paris, a natural body care brand with its laboratory in the city. All treatments are bookable to non-residents of the hotel and offer a taste of true Parisian opulence.
Must try: The Relax & Regenerate signature massage, from £198 for 55 minutes, is perfectly personalised to you and should cure any travel-induced aches or pains.

Maisie Café, 1st arrondissement
While the staples of the French diet are by no means just a cliché – six billion baguettes are sold every year in France – plenty of visitors and natives alike are keen to lighten up a little, and now there are plenty of vegetarian, vegan and wellness-focused menus to add to your itinerary. Maisie Cafe is a sweet vegan and gluten-free coffee shop right in the first arrondissement, between Jardin des Tuileries and Hotel Costes. Cold-pressed juices, energy balls, oat-milk Matcha lattes and banana bread are the fuel you need for a day of exhibitions or shopping.
Must buy: Choose a Go Juice, an energy boost – and delicious – a mix of beetroot, ginger and lemon perfect at petit-dejeuner.

Yuj Yoga Studio, 7th arrondissement
Although Paris isn’t quite so saturated by yoga studios as London or New York, there are plenty of places to practice – though not many are quite as stylish as Yuj. There are six locations in the city, with the location in the 7th alluringly placed in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. As with many things in Paris, the aesthetic skews smart, with each studio bedecked in striped awnings and navy and gold signage. The USP here is that classes take place under infrared light, heating the studios to a warm but not boiling 25 degrees. The soundtrack is carefully considered and the brand even has its line of activewear to check out as you leave.
Must try: In town on a Friday night? A 6pm Flowmix class brings all the good vibes you need to see you through the weekend.
