Evian-les-Bains: The Alpine Jewel Hosting the World's Elite

Nestled on Lake Geneva, the spa town of Evian-les-Bains will host the G7 summit. Known for its thermal springs, Belle Epoque architecture, and the famous 'Evian' mineral water, it has historical significance from the 'Evian Accords'. The town also held the G8 summit in 2003.

French President Emmanuel Macron has chosen the picturesque town of Evian-les-Bains for this year's G7 summit. Positioned on Lake Geneva's southern shore, Evian is known for its spa, grand architecture, and history, including the 1962 signing of the 'Evian Accords' which ended the Algerian War.

The town’s mineral water, 'Evian', is a global brand sourced from its alpine springs. First bottled in 1826, it is now produced by Danone, which manufactures millions of bottles daily. Evian-les-Bains hosted the G8 summit in 2003, bringing together world leaders like President George W. Bush and President Vladimir Putin.

Aside from political significance, the town is a golfer's dream. The Evian Resort Golf Club, near Lake Geneva, provides a world-class golfing experience, annually hosting the Amundi Evian Championship.
