Grande Source Spas Taking Visitors Waters Vittel
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of Vittel, France, at the height of its fame as a prestigious spa resort. In this evocative photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, a group of visitors take the waters at La Grande Source, a popular thermal spring renowned for its curative properties since Roman times. Circa 1910, the scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Vosges Mountains, with the ornate pavilion of the spa bathhouse visible in the background. Dressed in elegant Edwardian attire, the visitors, mostly women, gather around the large basin filled with crystal-clear water, each holding a small porcelain cup. The air is filled with the sound of gentle chatter and laughter, as the group savors the moment of relaxation and rejuvenation. Historically, Vittel was a favorite destination for European aristocracy and high society, who sought the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters. The town's reputation for promoting health and wellbeing dates back to the 18th century, when it was discovered that the waters contained high levels of minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and bicarbonate. Taking the waters at La Grande Source was considered a luxurious and refined pastime, as evidenced by the elegant setting and the formal attire of the visitors. The ritual of bathing in the thermal waters was believed to provide numerous health benefits, including the relief of digestive issues, skin conditions, and even stress. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Vittel as a spa destination and the enduring allure of the therapeutic properties of natural mineral waters. Today, the town remains a popular destination for those seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, and a touch of history.
