Massages and facials in Nantes

Three light-filled treatment rooms, warm organic oils and all the time you need: tailored massages, kobido facials and rituals, a stone’s throw from the Graslin theatre.

Three ways to let go

Massages

The Lumen massage, hot stones, reflexology or a quick back massage: 30 to 75 minutes, always at the pressure that suits you.

A facial: the therapist’s hands on the temples of a relaxed client

Facials

Kobido, radiance or deep hydration: precise techniques, simple products and skin that can breathe.

Rituals

Scrub, massage and facial in one go, alone or for two, then a herbal tea in the lounge: ninety minutes out of time.

One minute to breathe

Try it before you even come through our door: follow the light, breathe in as it grows, breathe out as it fades. Six slow breaths, one minute. This is how every treatment begins at the studio.

The studio

A former dressmaker’s workshop, brought back to the light

On the second floor of a 19th-century building, dressmakers once worked at tall windows to make the most of the daylight. We kept the light, the oak parquet and the calm, and added three heated treatment rooms, one of them for two.

No piped music or ringing timers here: every treatment begins with a few questions and a minute of breathing, and ends with a herbal tea in the lounge.

Light from a window draws a golden square on the wall

Our most popular treatments

Every treatment starts with a short chat and ends with a herbal tea. Prices include everything.

The founder

“I wanted a place where nobody needs to rush”

After ten years in large hotel spas, I opened Atelier Lumen in 2019 with a simple idea: to take our time. Fifteen minutes between appointments, so we can welcome you without watching the clock and prepare the room properly.

There are three of us, all trained in wellbeing massage, kobido and reflexology. We don’t sell miracle creams: we listen, adapt every movement, and let you leave at your own pace.

Sample reviews

What people tell us as they leave

  • The Lumen massage is the best I have had in Nantes: slow, precise, and nobody rushes you at the end. The herbal tea in the lounge is a lovely extra.

    Claire D.

  • I gave my parents a duo ritual for their fortieth wedding anniversary. They still talk about it, and the gift voucher envelope was beautiful.

    Hugo L.

  • Six months pregnant, I was looking for a suitable massage: lying on my side, cushions everywhere and a very attentive therapist. Thank you!

    Sarah B.

  • Kobido really does give your skin a glow. The only downside: you need to book two weeks ahead for a Saturday.

    Nadia K.

  • Thirty minutes of back massage over lunch and I go back to the office like new. The perfect spot near Graslin.
