Hammam Les Cents Ciels
“I found a piece of myself in the Middle-East. It was without a doubt in the hammam that the catharsis took place. Another world appeared, where women could reveal themselves openly and without social distinction. I wanted to provide a similar place in Strasbourg to share my experience and make it accessible to Western women,” explains Véronique Bonnefont, Founder of Cents Ciels.
A team of several artisans in France and Morocco created a true hammam in the center of Strasbourg over an area of 700 meters. The artisans and workers committed to transforming a neutral space into a ryad, that would be both typically oriental and contemporary.
“We drew the ornamental details ourselves, such as the magnificent sculpted wooden doors, the lamps and brackets that are then tailored to fit by Moroccan artisans. Having this control on the details avoids a pastiche feeling and allows us to mix codes to create the illusion of a ryad of today.”
Among the treatments offered, the one based with donkey milk is quite unique.
It took two years of development to perfect an emulsion made out of donkey milk and argan oil. When paired with the effects of light therapy, its healing attributes are heightened.
