But now, thanks in large part to Paris' fashion folk who travel internationally and are often the first to pick up a craze, alternative treatments are starting to thrive in the conservative city. Except, instead of driftwood spas on the California coast, the practices are most likely located in Haussmann-era buildings with estheticians dressed in what could pass for evening wear.
