Source de la Reine ('Queen's Spring') in Spa, Belgium, is a bicarbonate mineral spring whose soft, gently mineralised water has been associated with royal patronage since the seventeenth century. Spa's landscape of springs, each with a distinct mineral character, was mapped and named by generations of physicians and nobility, creating a unique cultural topography of thermal waters in the Ardennes highlands. La Reine's spring contributes to Spa's designation as part of the Great Spa Towns of Europe UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to the town's unparalleled role in European spa history.
