ESCALE DETENTE - SPA BORDEAUX

What ESCALE DETENTE - SPA BORDEAUX does

Escale Détente is a single-location, fully privatized spa and wellness house founded in 2004 in the Chartrons district of Bordeaux (7 rue Duret, 33300). It is operated by Anne Goebel (Gérante, ex-notary turned naturopath) together with a small team of approximately nine staff including a Spa Manager. The company sells personalized spa, facial, body, naturopathy and event services to individual consumers, couples, families, and corporate/event groups in the Bordeaux catchment, with no geographic expansion beyond Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

The offering is structured around three integrated pillars — Hysope Paris facial diagnostics and care, customized body massages and scrubs, and naturopathy/hypnotherapy/EFT coaching — augmented by a privatized spa space (hammam, sauna, Sundance Spas jacuzzi) and bundled "Parcours 360°" programs at €200 per session. Pricing is per-session pay-as-you-go across a menu from €40 (skin diagnostic) to €315 (duo 1h30), with 12-month gift cards and custom event quotes. The firm runs Planity-powered online booking, an Instagram and Facebook presence, Google/TripAdvisor/Yelp listings, and a content blog, and holds the Spa de France quality label.

The business is a privately held French SARL (€30,000 share capital, SIRET 434 541 595 00022) with no external investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity or reported funding. Revenue mechanics are entirely transactional service revenue; growth signals are limited to product refresh (Hysope Paris exclusive since 2024), a new family/kids segment (Nougatine Paris) and a 2025 European Excellence of Cosmetic award tied to its skincare partner.
