abstract:A Vichy shower is a kind of shower in which large quantities of warm water are poured over a spa patron while he or she lies in a shallow wet bed, similar to a massage table, but with drainage for the water.
For the uninitiated, a Vichyshower mandates that you lie on a treatment table while six or seven showerheads direct water at your prone body from above.
"I had to spend all day at customs explaining what a Vichyshower was, " said Jorge Campos, director of Guacalito de la Isla, of the multi-spray spa gadget.
