A walk in Evian-les-Bains

Evian is a city on the shores of Lake Geneva near Switzerland

Evian-les-Bains is known worldwide for its mineral water. The city center has a lot of charm, it is very pleasant to walk along the Lake Geneva. We remain nevertheless disappointed by the visit of the city, if we come to Evian we hope to drink water of Evian! But if you want to drink Evian water in Evian, you'd better buy it at the supermarket. The old Buvette Cachat is being renovated and will not be reopened until 2020 or 2021. There is an Evian space where you can personalize your Evian bottle (!) but it is more a gadget store than anything else. As for the thermal baths, it dates from 1984 and is of no interest to visit unless you come to enjoy the treatments and the pool.

La Source Cachat

La Source Cachat
The Cachat Spring is in front of the Cachat Bar (currently being renovated). It is the origin of the fame of the city of Evian. One expects something imposing and monumental, and well no, there is only a small tap which does not flow very quickly and one must queue. A question: is the water different from the other fountains in the city?
