Evian is a
town in
France on the southern
shores of
Lac Leman (
Lake Geneva). It's small town, and mostly a
tourist attraction for its
famous Evian water. While they put the stuff in
plastic bottles, ship them to
the States, and sell it for
$1.69 each,
Evian water is freely available in the town. A small, rather
inconspicuous fountain at the top of a
hill spurts out
delicious water.
My aunt Shelley and her friends Marc and Kathleen, travelling around France in a VW vanhome, visited Evian and refilled their water stocks with the water. It soon came time to do the dishes, and, feeling somewhat bad for wasting it but having no other water, those dishes, in a perverse sort of yuppie bohemianism, were washed in the Evian water.
