Questions

evian® natural mineral water comes from only one place in the world - the Cachat Spring (pronounced CA-SHAH) at the base of the French Alps in the town of Évian-Les-Bains, France. Want to find it on a map? No problem. evian is near the border of Switzerland in France.

evian® is bottled near the source, at our factory. The stainless steel piping from the spring directly to the plant and the filling equipment are designed to protect the quality of evian’s natural water. We can assure you that evian is bottled from a protected source and thus is protected from contamination from man-made chemicals in compliance  with the NMW regulation.

evian® natural mineral water isn’t made, it’s given to us by nature. Our water gets its unique, exceptional qualities from the source. Protected under a fortress of geological layers built by glaciers 30,000 years ago, it slowly travels through natural snowy, glacial rocks naturally filtering it. It’s a 15-year process before it gets from the French Alps to you - with no additives, no enhancements. The water’s unique taste and composition is a result of nature’s water cycle.

evian® is a uniquely sourced natural mineral water from the French Alps that’s always naturally hydrating and refreshing – with nothing added for taste and not enhanced with extras in perfect compliance with NMW reg.

We’re not trying to hide behind some fancy, complicated name. We call ourselves evian, because that’s exactly where our water comes from–– Évian-Les-Bains, France, the home of our spring. “evian” comes from the Celtic word "evua" which means water.

For us, everything revolves around our source. evian is proud to call Évian-Les-Bains, France home to its headquarters.

Generally, evian water can be purchased in bulk or standalone bottles across the globe at all participating supermarkets and convenience stores.

evian glass bottles and limited edition glass bottles are available in select supermarkets, restaurants and hotels. Keep in mind, the limited edition bottles are seasonal and available in limited quantities.

Unfortunately, at this time, it’s not possible to purchase water directly from us, nor does our distribution system allow for home or office delivery.

The amount of water varies according to each size. We offer our standard plastic bottles in a variety of sizes: 33cL, 50cL, 75cL, 1L, 1.5L and 33cl. Our glass bottle range comes in two sizes: 33cL and 75cL.
