A continuing story
From the springs of the Jura Mountains
Renowned for its benefits since the Gallo-Roman era, the Jura Mountains springwater draws precious salts, minerals and trace elements from the generous soil and rock. This wealth can be particularly appreciated at Salins-les-Bains and Divonne-les-Bains, the main spa resorts of the mountain range.
