Industrial activity of Sassay Water Plant and Doctor Chambrin's story

This board takes you through the history of Sassay Spring since its use, in 1916, by Doctor Chambrin in complementary military campaign hospitals. In 1920, we came to take the waters in Plancoët and to drink the water of Nazareth.

It's only on August 2nd 1928 that Sassay's water is categorised as "natural mineral water" by ministerial decree. To this day it is the only one in Brittany to have this acknowledgement.

Right from 1928, in order to protect the spring from pollutions linked to agriculture and to ensure its continuation, a building, nicknamed the "Griffon" was built. Around it, and since then, a protection perimetre of 96 ha was instaured on Brandefer hillock on which every agricultural activity is prohibited.
