Use *c’est* (this is) when you refer to a whole experience, not *il est* which describes a specific noun.

Cultural Tip
In French, *c’est* is the go‑to construction when you want to describe a whole situation or an abstract idea. *Relaxant* is a modern, slightly informal adjective; in more formal contexts you might hear *reposant* instead. Also, French speakers often replace *très* with *vraiment* for a more colloquial tone.
