Fontaine Saint-Blaise

Natural spring 20 min by car

The most popular fountain in Bagnères-de-Bigorre! Built in 1905 by marble worker Rivière, it replaced the old water point of the 'cagots' quarter. Its spring water flows all year with a high flow rate. Locals come to fill bottles and jugs: the water is fresh, flavorful and renowned for its exceptional quality.

Fontaine Ferrugineuse

Historic spring 20 min by car

Discovered in 1817, formerly named Fontaine d'Angoulême. Water naturally rich in iron (characteristic orange color). The Duchess of Angoulême was brought here in 1823 to taste the water. A place of history and curiosity.

Reduce plastic
  • Tap water is excellent in La Mongie: use a reusable water bottle
  • If you prefer filtered water, a filter jug is available in the apartment
  • When hiking, always bring a sufficiently filled water bottle
  • The Saint-Blaise Fountain in Bagnères is the ideal spot to fill large containers
