Beauty Life Moments looks to beautiful places to escape the everyday – from the luxury of spa destinations; the ultimate in cooking schools; experiencing a Chateau residency in the heart of Normandy; an Italian Villa momen; to exploring the beauty of Australian beaches. A French Affair – Travel Beauty explores destinations that bring the art of skincare and science together to add to any beautiful journey.
A Founder’s Vision
We begin with Les Sources de Caudalie, the creation by its founder Mathilde Thomas. This French affair combines beauty and wellbeing with a thoughtful destination that is the ultimate travel beauty experience.
Beauty and Grapes
Caudalie began its beauty story in the heart of Bordeaux in France – in the grapevines of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, the estate belonging to Mathilde’s parents. Caudalie brings together a story of a love of natural beauty and the discovery of the ingredient power of the grape.
A French Story
Within the Caudalie estate you discover more than just a spa environment. The experience allows you to unwind and escape the everyday for a few moments.
It is a testament to a lifelong journey of bringing wellbeing and beauty together in a place of rare beauty – to discover a more beautiful you.
What is behind the name? Mathilde Thomas says:
‘We were looking for a French name connected to our wine-making roots. Caudalie is a wine term that refers to the unit of measurement for the time the flavours of a wine linger on the palate after tasting it.‘
Under French Skies
Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa
The Caudalie Vinothérapie combines natural active ingredients from the grapevine and grapes with exceptional treatment rituals to provide facial and body treatments that are completely unique. A tailored programs are created according to your beauty and wellbeing objectives.
Mathilde Thomas oversees each treatment to bring the science of beauty to each Caudalie skincare ritual. Explore the beauty of Detox and Slimming, Radiance, Anti-Ageing and Firmness programs to create a more beautiful you.
