Perrier: Visit the Source in the South of France
We just found out that the source of Perrier, that sparkling water in the bright green bottle, is just outside Nimes! And, it's awesome and you can totally visit it!
Of course, because this is France, there's a castle on the grounds that is drop-dead gorgeous. But there is also a museum, a large viewing gallery of the factory, a visit to the bottling line and you can even go directly to the exact spot of the source of the water used to make Perrier!
There's even a hilarious gift store packed with cool Perrier items, including the chic glasses you see at the bars and cafes everywhere.
I know it sounds so nerdy and weird, but I really think it's worth a quick trip over there, especially if you make it part of your road trip to Nimes or the Pont du Gard. Reservations are necessary, so call ahead. And have fun! We did.
