Evian Embraces The Om

The first thing our mind goes to when thinking of Evian is bottled water, however, beyond being one of the purest mineral water brands, Evian is the name of a beautiful spa destination, and it is of course where the water is sourced. The idyllic town of Evian is located on Lake Geneva and has been quite popular for centuries for being a spa destination with both royalty and celebrities looking to breathe in fresh air and to look after their mind, body and soul. Escaping busier cities, Evian is a welcome change of pace with its open spaces, the breathtaking lake and clean air.

It was in 1789 that the virtues of Evian natural mineral water were first discovered, with the site of the water filtering it during its 15-year journey as it makes its way under thick layers of clay, the water boasts a unique balance of minerals. At the time, the new found pollution-free water, that is pH neutral and with a low mineral content became the drawing card, transforming Evian into a popular thermal spa destination. Evian’s first thermal baths were inaugurated in 1824, attracting socialites of the time and European bourgeoisie who came for the benefits reaped from the water with the Thermes d’Evian long being famous amongst visitors looking to preserve their health in a natural way with the water’s therapeutic benefits.
