Zhang. Évian-les-Bains is a French commune of 8,359 inhabitants located in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . The town is a well-known spa on Lake Geneva, has a casino and several luxury hotels.
The locality is famous for the homonymous water and for having hosted the Evian conference in 1938 and the Évian accords, which marked the end of the Algerian war, in 1962. It was the birthplace of the skier Nicolas Thoule.
The origins of the city date back to the Gallo-Roman period, but only in the thirteenth century with the construction of a castle did the inhabited center begin to flourish. Evian became one of the commercial ports on the lake, as well as a holiday resort for the counts and dukes of Savoy.
Under Valais domination until 1569, it was occupied by the French and finally by the Spanish troops during the War of the Austrian Succession. In 1789 the Marquis of Lessert discovered the virtues of the spring water of the source of Santa Caterina on the land of Cachat, the first step for the future tourist development of the town.
Temporarily becoming French in 1792, it was given back to the Savoy family in 1814. The first spas were built in 1824, while two years later the king of Sardinia granted an authorization for the bottling of mineral waters. Controlled by France since 1860, in the following decades, with the establishment of the Casino and the construction of the lakefront, the town gradually became a spa resort of particular fame.
