Altearah · Body treatments
Choose the scent of your treatment.
Each Altearah colour is a guide to a different essential oil blend and scent. For exfoliation, body wraps and bespoke massage, choose a colour below to discover its character. At the spa, we invite you to smell the blends: your preferences help us personalise your treatment.
Why smell a scent before your treatment?
Smelling is already a sensory experience: a familiar scent can bring back a memory or an emotion. During our body treatments, this discovery helps us understand what feels pleasant to you today. We combine it with your wishes for touch, pressure and comfort.
The colour suggests an emotional intention; the scent helps you explore it. There is no right answer and no need to decide online: we guide you at the spa.
Smell, emotions and the history of plants
Scent molecules stimulate receptors in the nose, which send signals to the brain. Smell is connected with systems involved in memory and emotion. Our response depends on our experiences and preferences: the same scent does not feel the same to everyone.
Plants have a long place in the history of care. Kew researchers study plant-based remedies recorded in Byzantine pharmacy texts, from late antiquity to the Middle Ages. This heritage tells a history of knowledge; it does not establish the effectiveness of today’s essential oil blends.
Here, we seek sensory pleasure, comfort and relaxation. Colour names such as “Repair” or “Energy” are Altearah’s emotional themes, not medical outcomes. Effects on mood and physical health cannot be guaranteed for each blend.

Your experience
A massage shaped around you
A conversation before your treatment guides the techniques, focus areas and pace. From flowing strokes to more focused work, each session is tailored to you.
Which duration should I choose?
Choose 15 minutes for one focused area, 30 or 45 minutes for one or two areas, or 1 h for a full-body massage. The 75- and 90-minute sessions allow more time and include a foot bath ritual.
For younger guests
The 15-minute massage can be suitable for children aged 4 and over. A 30-minute session can also be adapted: please contact us before booking.
For expectant mothers
From the second trimester, enjoy an adapted massage using an oil without essential oils. Please mention your pregnancy when booking so we can prepare your relaxing moment together.
Before your visit
Let us take care of the details.
Your first visit or a familiar ritual: we are here to help you make it your own.
Speak with our teamVisiting Le Puy-en-Velay?
A visit to Le Mont Anis can become part of your stay in the Velay. Tell us your dates and the time you have; we can help you choose a treatment and organise your visit.
Can we come together?
Our treatments can be enjoyed as a duo, except for the four-handed signature massage: both therapists care for one guest. Tell us when booking so that we can arrange your time together.
What makes the treatment personal?
We begin with a conversation about your physical needs, how you feel and your preferences. On the day, we refine the details with you, from the music to the warmth of the treatment table or massage oil.
What is provided?
A robe, slippers, towel and disposable underwear are provided, together with a secure locker. For the sensory spa, bring a swimsuit of any style: the space is private. Bringing or using your own black soap for exfoliation in the hammam is not permitted.
Can I stay a little longer?
After your treatment, take time to return gently to your day in the panoramic lounge. A drink is offered, with space to share your impressions and receive advice. Breakfast, brunch and other treats can be arranged in advance at an additional charge.
