Well, we're trying to book services at Les Bains to beat back jet lag on day 2 in Paris. I e mailed via their website and have not heard. Has anyone used their services? We are interested in hammam,gommage and massage.(keep the jokes to a minimum here folks) Is it really necessary to reserve?

Their site is in French, but it does indicate that there are certain hours on certain days that are for women only, or men only; only 3 days allow 'mixe' sessions. Perhaps the availability of the services you want is at risk if you prefer to walk in rather than reserve.

Why not send them a fax as well - direct dial from the USA would be 011-33-1-44-61-02-29

I went with a friend a couple years ago. I called the same day for reservations, after finding out which days were reserved for men and women.
