In a restaurant in France this summer the waiter put a carafe of water like this one on the table: https://goo.gl/images/aBJxBj
Les Eaux Municipales means tap water... Except that it's glass, it would be nice to carry one around for refilling from fountains. In Vichy at the source of Celestins you can draw the water free, or go into a shop and buy some... https://web-options.com/2018/07/06/vichy-ii/ On 5 Dec 2018, at 22:04, ann sanfedele <ann...@nyc.rr.com<mailto:ann...@nyc.rr.com>> wrote: back in '81 my thought when I saw the bottle being filled was that it was Evion's source ;-) I was photographing the fountain itself - the frame before it on that roll tells me that... never bothered to blow that one up...

On my three trips to Switzerland over the decades, I constantly watched the locals filling their Perrier bottles with water out of the public fountains. That water is indeed better than actual Perrier. Better, of course, to re-use the plastic bottles than to throw them away. Those fountains are called Wallace Fountains, after the inheritor of the Wallace Collection in London. He was a great Francophile and lover of Paris. After the Franco-Prussian War he designed the fountains, paid for them and had them installed, among other benevolent works for the ruined city. There is one outside The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square, London. It's a superb gallery, with a good French collection, and always worth visiting.
