Travel guide

Understand

Despite being mentioned in every tourist brochure and website of the region, this spa town only has around 5,000 inhabitants. In the summer months the small town with its one short shopping street is easily flooded by tourists, so it's best to visit either before or after July-August.

Get around

The town is best discovered on foot, not that there are any alternatives. This is no hardship, however.

Eat

Have breakfast or lunch at one of multiple Boulangerie-Patisseries along Rue de Verdun, the main street.

Connect

Cell phone coverage is good but mobile internet is frustratingly slow. There isn't a lot of Wi-Fi to go around in rural France, and Vittel is no exception.

Go next

Go to nearby Mirecourt or Épinal.

Vittel (; archaic ) is a spa town in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

Mineral water is bottled and sold here by Nestlé Waters France, under the Vittel brand. A series of negotiations involving Nestlé, local agricultural smallholders, and the French national agricultural research institute to protect groundwater quality from nonpoint source pollution yielded a unique arrangement that is often cited as a case study in payment for ecosystem services based on Coasean bargaining.
