Thermes de La Salvetat-sur-Agout

Thermes de La Salvetat-sur-Agout in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park of Hérault, France, offers bicarbonate mineral spring bathing in the mountain village whose spring water has been bottled and sold commercially as La Salvetat mineral water since 1904—a naturally carbonated bicarbonate water of exceptional quality whose commercial success has made it one of France's most recognizable natural mineral water brands, sold in supermarkets across the country since the early twentieth century. The commercial spring's mother source can be accessed directly at the village fountain free of charge, offering visitors the direct geological experience of a nationally recognized mineral water at its emergence point—one of the rare opportunities to drink a commercial mineral water directly from the geological spring that produces it. The combination of the commercial mineral water heritage, the Haut-Languedoc natural park setting, and the bicarbonate spring tradition creates a La Salvetat experience that connects national-scale mineral water culture to its local mountain spring origin.
