Evian is a spa town in the south-east France and it is one of towns on the French side of Lake Geneva. Evian is known for the therapeutic properties of the mineral water coming from the Cachat Spring named after Gabriel Cachat who was the owner of the garden where the water runs through. The therapeutic qualities of the water were discovered by Jean Charles de Lazier after his kidney stones disappeared rapidly by drinking the water everyday. Since then the water became popular for its health benefits and has been commercially managed by the Evian mineral water company. Local residents and tourist can get free water directly from the source through the decorative fountain.
