The State of Mane

Or rather, the state of mind you'll find yourself in when visiting the small perched village of Mane near Forcalquier in Provence, especially if it includes a visit to Le Couvent des Minimes Hotel and Spa. Yes, you've fretted through the frosts of fall, sloshed through the snow of winter, pondered over politics, toiled on your taxes and now it is time. It is time for rest and relaxation. Time for spiritual renewal--this was a former convent, after all. Time to indulge in luxurious spa treatments with natural beauty products from L'Occitane. Time for Mediterranean meals prepared by the spa's gourmet restaurant, Le Cloitre. Perhaps it is time for the refund check to show up, n'est pas?
