Sensory Showers

Playful Water Experiences by the Lake

A tribute to the surrounding nature, the luminous reflections of Lake Annecy, and the mountains encircling the Bay of Talloires-Montmin, the sensory showers at the spa of the Auberge du Père Bise are designed as true aquatic experiences.

Stimulating microcirculation and engaging all the senses, these showers offer three distinct scenarios: Tropical Forest, Storm Over the Lake, and Morning Mist. Each one playing with imagination, varying water temperatures, and alternating jet pressures. Each experience is paired with specific essential oil fragrances, light therapy effects, and evocative soundscapes that awaken both body and mind in a fun, multi-sensory way.

Water and Light Play

Tropical Forest soothes with a warm, enveloping rain—perfect for releasing tension and relaxing the muscles after physical activity or a workout.

Storm Over the Lake is more invigorating. It boosts blood circulation with alternating strong jets of cool and warm water, providing a refreshing contrast. Ideal before or after a sauna or hammam session.

Morning Mist delivers gentle steam, soft lighting, and subtle scents that evoke a calm morning by the lake. A moment of peace to restore balance and calm the mind.

Designed to complement the spa’s wellness journey, the sensory showers offer a playful break between stimulation and recovery. But beyond their immediate pleasure, they also: Boost circulation, relieve muscle tension, promote relaxation. Perfect after exercise, before a treatment, or in between laps in the pool, sunbathing on the terrace, or a session in the Nordic bath overlooking Lake Annecy.
