Our origin
Bubbles from the depths of the Massif Central
It is in the heart of the Massif Central, at the crossroads of the Monts du Lyonnais and the Forez plain, that the miracle of Badoit* sparkling natural mineral water takes place every day.
Before reaching its source in Saint-Galmier, a small town located in the Loire, the water that fell from the sky follows a long underground journey during which it undergoes profound metamorphoses. The source of these changes is a singular subsoil, characterised by the existence of deep fractures in the earth's crust, born of powerful tectonic activity millions of years ago. These faults allow carbonic gas to rise from the earth's mantle, on contact with which the water will become charged, before emerging with fine bubbles at the Badoit spring at a constant temperature of 16°C.
*Natural mineral water with added carbon dioxide or reinforced with gas from the spring.
