Body to body massage in Paris

What is a body to body massage?

The body to body massage, also written body-to-body or simply “body body”, is closely associated with Thailand and South-East Asia, where massage is part of everyday life. The idea is simple and remarkably effective. Instead of massaging only with her hands, the masseuse uses her whole body. She spreads warm oil over your skin and her own, then glides along your back, your legs and your arms.

The result is a broader, softer and more enveloping pressure than any hand massage can give, and a feeling of warmth that spreads through the whole body. That is why body to body is the sensual massage by definition, and why it is often listed among erotic massages in Paris: it awakens the senses while staying firmly within the world of wellness.

How a body to body massage unfolds at our salon

1. Welcome and shower

You are welcomed into a softly lit space, pink and violet lights, quiet music. Your masseuse shows you to the private shower: time to wash, warm up and leave the busy city behind. For a more immersive start, choose the shower body to body massage, where she joins you under the water.

2. The hand warm-up

Lying face down, you first receive a traditional oil massage: Thai-style pressure on the back, shoulders and calves, gentle stretches. The muscles loosen, the breathing slows down, and you begin to trust the rhythm of her hands.

3. The body glide

Your masseuse then oils her own body and the body to body begins: long slides from the lower back up to the shoulders, passes along the legs, slow circles. You turn over and the massage continues on the front of the body, always slowly. Looking for nuru? We do not use gel: see why we prefer the body to body with warm oil to nuru.

4. Back to calm

A few minutes of rest, a final shower to rinse off the oil, a glass of water. You walk out relaxed, with soft skin and a quiet mind, ready for dinner in Montmartre or the train home from Saint-Lazare.

The whole sequence is described in more detail on how a session works.

The benefits of skin-to-skin massage

• Deep relaxation: the warmth and the large surface of contact soothe the nervous system much faster than a massage given with the hands alone.
• Oxytocin: skin-to-skin contact is known to encourage the release of this “feel-good” hormone, linked to calm and trust.
• Instant stress relief: ideal after a long-haul flight, a day of meetings at La Défense or a marathon of museums.
• Jet lag reset: many travellers find that an hour of slow, warm touch helps them sleep on Paris time the same night.
• Reconnecting with your body: you rediscover forgotten sensations, with no performance and no expectations.

Body to body, soapy, tantric: what is the difference?

Massage	What changes	Best for
Body to body with oil	Oiled body glide, warmth, slow pace	A first discovery, pure relaxation

Whatever you choose, the price is the same: €100 for 30 minutes, €130 for 45 minutes, €150 for an hour, and €250 for an hour with two masseuses. The details are on our body to body massage prices page.

Why a Thai masseuse makes the difference

Traditional Thai massage, known in Thailand as Nuad Thai, was added to UNESCO’s list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2019. Our masseuses trained in these techniques before adapting them to body to body. They know where tension hides, how to dose pressure and how to read the body’s reactions.

That knowledge is what separates simple contact from a real Thai erotic massage: sensual, but controlled, precise and caring. It is also what makes it, quite simply, an excellent massage.

A clear and respectful framework

Body to body is a sensual massage, but above all a professional one: our trained masseuses work by the book, and an indecent request or inappropriate behaviour ends the session immediately, without refund, as does any moment when the masseuse decides it should stop. This framework protects our masseuses and guarantees everyone a calm, safe experience. It is explained in full in our house rules.

In practice, this makes things simple for you: no awkward moment, no surprise. You choose a length, you lie down, you let go.

Body to body massage for travellers and expats

The salon is used to welcoming people who do not live in Paris: tourists who have just spent the day climbing to the Sacré-Cœur, business travellers staying near Saint-Lazare or Opéra, expats who miss the massage culture of Bangkok or Singapore. A few practical points:

• English is spoken at the salon, and booking by WhatsApp works from any foreign number.
• Open 7 days a week, 11am to 8pm, which makes it easy to book on a Sunday or on your last afternoon before a flight. See massage open today in Paris.
• No membership, no app, no online form: you simply confirm a time slot by message.
• Discreet location on a calm residential street, away from the neon of the boulevard.
