THE FIRMIN WELL

Parc de l'intermittente, Avenue Paul-Ribeyre 07600 Vals-Les-Bains

Petit Futé's opinion on THE FIRMIN WELL

This spring is named Puits Firmin in homage to Louis-Joseph Firmin Galimard (1815-1865), silk miller. This one, by drilling a mine hole, made a spring appear. It was in 1861, Vals-les-Bains saw its destiny turned upside down with a future turned towards thermalism. From then on, 143 mineral water springs producing water at 13°C were known. Discovered in 1865, the so-called intermittent spring provides gaseous water gushing out of the subsoil when the pressure becomes too high, at a rate of every 6 hours.

C'est un curieux site à visiter. Dommage que la sources est clôturé, on ne peut pas toucher l'eau. On a été surprise par la pression de l'eau qui donne un jet assez haut
