A Swiss company has received permission from the Paris prefecture to bottle and market water from underground reservoirs beneath the city. Aiming to cater to Parisian hotels and palaces looking to reduce plastic use and support local consumption, the company is focused on sustainability.

Based in Lausanne, the company filters the city’s water and bottles it in glass in a 300m² warehouse in the 18th arrondissement. Already operating in other countries and in Nice, they have invested 1 million euros in the Paris facility.
