La Roche-Posay is home to spring water that is very rich in selenium, a trace element with numerous therapeutic and dermatological benefits.

Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, the knight Bertrand Du Guesclin stopped near the spring to let his horse drink and to quench his own thirst.

The horse, who suffered from eczema, plunged into the water and came out cured…

The renown of the therapeutic qualities of La Roche-Posay thermal spring water continued to grow in the centuries to come.

Having experienced it myself and seen it in many others, it seemed to me more akin to a miracle than an act of nature.

The reputation of the place reached so far that people were coming from Paris and I saw two to three thousand people there...
