Sant Roch: A New Contrast Therapy Destination in Paris

Sant Roch, a contrast therapy center founded by Jules Bouscatel and Chloé Bouscatel of Monday Sports Club, opened near the Tuileries Garden in Paris a month ago. It features France's largest sauna at over 60 square meters and five cold plunges between 3-8°C, offering a self-directed or guided ritual of heat and cold cycles. The project pivots from the founders' previous fitness studios (Dynamo, Punch, RIISE) to recovery. Artistic direction by Olivier Léone and architecture by Futurstudio led by Ali Mcquaid Mitchell create a restrained environment without treatment rooms or a spa menu. Sant Roch positions itself as a new Parisian wellness ritual, contrasting with the city's traditional vices.
