About
Intended to replace the Buvette Cachat, which has become unsuitable, this building is located by the Société des eaux minérales in the parc of the former Grand Hôtel d'Evian, which was destroyed after the Second World War.
Architect Maurice Novarina, from Thonon, and engineer Jean Prouvé built an impressive glass room in 1957. The frame is comprised of 12 steel props, and the roof has an inverted incline and is covered with aluminium. The interior design follows the genre's code: bathhouse, resting area, music room are all separated by slated screens with mosaics. The bathhouse is listed as a historical monument, and a crenotherapy treatment centre opened in 1984 in the East Wing. The entire building is the current location of the Evian thermal baths.
