Founded in 1854, the
French Vittel company makes
bottled water like
Evian. They have a separate source (The Vittel Bonne Source) for the tap water, and export it to the whole world. The Vittel brand is owned by the
Perrier Vittel group, a subsidary of
Nestlé. The taste of the water is a bit less than Evian, but enough to make it better than most tap water.
