The mineral springs of Contrexéville have been known locally for many years, but became generally known only towards the end of the 18th century. The particular reputation of Contrexéville as a mineral spa and health resort dates from 1864, when development began by a company, the Société des Eaux de Contrexéville. Mineral water is bottled here by Nestlé Waters France, under the Contrex brand.
