Visiting Evian-les-Bains (France) again

Countryside feeling at the lake promenade
In the background: the headquarters of the world famous mineral water


Doing (part of) the historical city tour backwards.
Number 14 spot: the Casino - and number 1 would be ...
 ... the Church 'Notre-Dame de l'Assomption' in the background

Number 12: Hôtel de Ville

Number 11: Palais Lumière - originally the Historical Thermes ... 
... once a 'Hydropathic Establishment', today a Congress and Cultural Centre

The brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière started to create moving pictures in 1892 and they held the first public screening of projected motion pictures in 1895, the same year when their 'cimématographe' was patented.

Number 7: Point of emergence of the Cachat spring

Here you can fill in your own Evian mineral water

Not far from there another spring - Source des Cordeliers

Number 6: The Cachat pump room (1903)

Read more about Evian-les-Bains and the legend behind its mineral water.
