Ternant-les-eaux and its springs

This village is thus called because of the presence of 3 natural mineral springs on its territory, along the geological rift. The springs of the “Path”, the “Old Monk” and the “Salvation” were long-standing known. The “Salvation” spring offered the best flow and was used. In 1888, it got the official authorization of operation. A building (on ruin nowadays) was used for bottling. In 1900, it was the turn of the “Old Monk” spring to be used and commercialized. But, these 2 companies didn’t survive to the First World War, and the springs were abandoned.
