History of Pougues-Les-Eaux: Pougues became renowned as a spa town under the French King Henri III. His doctor, Jean Pidoux (maternel grand-father of Jean de La Fontaine), analysed the springs of Pougues and discovered that the waters had curative properties for the digestive system. Doctor Jean Pidoux convinced Henri III to come to Pougues and take the waters. He came with his mother, Catherine de Medicis. He left Pougues cured! This "miracle" made Pougues renowned for its water amongst kings and aristocrats. And from then on, kings of France and famous people like Henri IV, Louis XIV, Gaston d'Orleans, Prince de Conti, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and many others came to Pougues.
