This year we tried a new place, the Sound of Water. For once, no massage, but a place Zen, a steam bath and a Japanese. And bicycles (I do not like bikes).
The Sound of Water is the Baie de Somme, near Parc Marquenterre. You do not know? I either before you go. This is a nature reserve, and therefore can be done in many nice walks.
We arrived at 23h after taking a small TER Paris (we've eaten sushi on our knees, which was not the idea of the century), then a taxi to this eco-friendly hotel. We chose the following Ginkgo-Biloba, history to have three beds (the group of girlfriends is dramatically reduced following multiple assignment). It's smaller than the pictures and above all it must be top for a couple, but three was a bit tight. By against the presence of cushions fatboy was very appreciated. The real downside of the room (past the trick is for 3 small) is that it smells a little tinkering ... The genus wobbly shower, for example. I fear they are soon forced to work a few! That said the decor is successful, and as we took advantage of early start on Sunday to other customers in making a discrete visit the rest of the house, we can tell you that the other two bedrooms and tear a lot I really like this they did a garden. Japanese-side of the set is very nice.
The next breakfast enough cool, a bit like Zen, with some funny stuff and pretty good. Only the odd fruit juice was not convinced. So Sunday as we arrived before the other guests, they were the shura that their was much better. Yes it is like that ourselves. Savages.
After buffet breakfast, we put the nose outside, and is motivated as patients go for a bike ride (which is provided). Only due to poor directions, we ended up going mega far, and I'll spare you the details, but after being abandoned by my dear friends, after the death of my phone (and therefore my GPS) I thought a moment to await death on the roadside. It lacked just a little psychopath (in movies they always arise when the girl's phone no longer works). Well finally the survival instinct has taken over and I returned to find that I use crevard homies in the steam room. 1/2h later, feet range I calmed down and relaxed. We then tried the Japanese bath, but the toe that we have put in came out half-baked. So we decided to give it to the next. 
Sunday after breakfast we went to see the sea This little walk by the sea has proved very nice and quite refreshing. A breath of fresh air ... what And then it must be said, I'm more comfortable walking than cycling. Then we retried the Japanese bath. It was cooler than yesterday and it was happiness in the bath. Let me explain. It was cold, not to put out a duck, and fun to slip in a swimsuit in the hole filled with hot water, while remaining outside was crazy ... We had our tea with us, small bowls floating in water. In addition to the atmosphere is really successful, and the view through the panels of the "shack" on the wild garden with its tall grasses and the small stream ... it's great. We then (finally) had lunch at the hotel. The meal was fresh, healthy and as I write this post after two months went there, and I could not take pictures I do not remember any ... apart from nihon shu served (= Sake) which was delicious. Frankly it's one of the best spirits in the world, it is good. And do not tell me about alcohol at 90 ° C used in most Japanese restaurants false: it is comparing a red cubi purchased abroad and wine that you can apply in France. It n has nothing to do. The cook (Japan and passionate photographer training) is also the master of the house and he cooks in front of you which is always pretty cool. It is perhaps a pity he does not explain what it does, but his wife takes care of a little (she is adorable).
While the price: for all that we had for 478 € for two people (+ extra for the third) with 2 nights + aperitif and dinner the first night + 2 spa bath access and sauna.
C 'is a low season price I think, and suddenly it's worth the shot altogether. .. By cons they are attacked, so do not hesitate to book early. In addition there is a whole center linked to the horse Henson next door so I think there are ways to combine the weekend with a Japanese-style horseback riding on Saturday afternnon (to replace the bike ride by example. and at random.) and thus visit the park Marquenterre so nice.
