Contrexéville is a commune of north-eastern France, in the Vosges département. Inhabitants are called Contrexévillois.
The 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.
