'Can't wait for my Thalasso,' trilled Marie-Christine's email, detailing her hectic summer in Paris, Provence and Dieppe - the latter, it seemed, to recover at her Spa of choice.
Could Thalasso - hot seawater health and beauty treatments - be the secret weapon, not just of my friend Marie-Christine but of her glamorous Gallic compatriots? When I next crossed the Channel, I made time to visit Les Bains, Dieppe's magnificent modern Thalassotherapy and Aquatic Centre which reopened last year after a £20m refit.
