GRAVITI Float Lyon

Flotation, also called sensory-deprivation floating. You lie in an individual capsule filled with warm water saturated with Epsom salt, which makes you float weightless in a soundproof, climate-controlled cabin. You can choose full darkness or a soft blue ambient light.

A solo session is 69 euros at the standard rate, 59 euros on weekdays (Mon-Fri) and 49 euros at a reduced rate for students, jobseekers, the self-employed and over-65s. Duo sessions start around 115 euros, and multi-session packs go up to 7 sessions for 483 euros (about 44 euros each).

It is at 31 Rue Ney, 69006 Lyon, in the Tete d'or area of the 6th arrondissement. GRAVITI also runs a second Lyon center in the 3rd arrondissement (23 quai Victor Augagneur) plus locations in Bordeaux.

It opens daily. Monday 11:00 to 21:00, Tuesday to Thursday 14:00 to 21:00, Friday 12:00 to 22:00, Saturday 11:00 to 22:00 and Sunday 12:00 to 20:00. Booking is done in advance, and cancellations at least 48 hours ahead are free of charge.
