Sustainable management of the Avène impluvium

The Avène impluvium is the starting point for Avène Thermal Spring Water. It is by infiltrating this basin that the rainwater is enriched with mineral and biological components beneficial to the skin, before springing up where its spring emerges.

The richness of the biodiversity which surrounds the impluvium and the low human activity of the place, form a rare natural protective setting.
It is our mission to continue protecting it and to ensure that the properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water remain constant.

Our connection with local actors

The whole population, from the basin to Avène, is concerned with preserving this exceptional natural heritage. Together, we look at common projects and the best way to carry them out to ensure the quality, quantity and accessibility of the water. The objective is, in the long term, to engage collectively with forest owners, farmers and local residents.

We have already begun to act on our site by carrying out logging to help trees to grow. An agricultural diagnosis has also been launched to support farmers in continuously improving their practices.
