Contrexéville (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃tʁɛksevil] ) is a commune of north-eastern France, in the Vosges département.
The mineral springs of Contrexéville have been known locally for many years, but became generally known only towards the end of the 18th century. The particular reputation of Contrexéville as a mineral spa and health resort dates from 1864, when development began by a company, the Société des Eaux de Contrexéville.[3] Mineral water is bottled here by Nestlé Waters France, under the Contrex brand.
