Descriptive Note Text

Évian is a brand of mineral water coming from from several springs near Évian-les-Bains, on the south shore of Lake Geneva. Evian became a public company in 1859 as the "Société anonyme des eaux minérales de Cachat" and later "Société anonyme des eaux minérales de Évian-les-Bains." In 1860 it became French, when Savoy was incorporated into France under the Treaty of Turin. In 1908, Evian water began to be sold in glass bottles.  

The Évian Kiosk was located in the gardens of the French section, on the same avenue as the Pavilion of the City of Paris. Designed by French architect Abert Guilbert, the kiosk featured a round colonnaded structure, with a nude female statue in the middle. It was listed as number 7 in the Plan Officiel de la Section Française.
