The Comptoir Paris Marrakech: Just like in Marrakech, truly!

No easy task, apparently, to try and juggle our tight schedules and our biological clock and still fit in one hour every day at a Marrakchi hammam. That’s why the Comptoir Paris-Marrakech has decided to address that gap by opening its doors right in the 9th district of the capital. On the agenda is the hammam, a massage with desert sands and Oriental pastry. We really have the feeling of being back in Marrakech

Marrakech in 350 m2
100 m2 dedicated to the sale of products "just like over there" including Argan oil and boxes in tadellakt, rhassoul and forged iron lamps and 250 m2 for our well-being: that is the formula banked on by the Comptoir Paris Marrakech, this new Moroccan spa in the already overcrowded world of wellness centres. No vague ostentatious luxury here, just the desire to take a break, to relax in the hammam before leaving one’s body in the good hands of an alert and cheerful aesthetician. The escapade naturally ends with the chance to sample a tempting Oriental pastry, a definite must which may not be the best thing to optimize the effects of the slimming "kaeline" massage ... But sensuality also passes through our taste buds as we know all too well. Do we have to be so cruelly reminded of that?


1 spa, 4 areas
Nothing particularly original in the architecture adopted here, but undoubtedly the refined conviviality of the area and the soft sweet fragrance suffice. We make our way from the hammam – in black and white mosaics- to the vast Oriental baths…
