The Pouhon Pierre-le-Grand holds the most abundant spring in Spa: a naturally sparkling water, loaded with mineral salts and rich in iron, which yields about 21,000 litres a day. The pavilion, from 1880, the work of Victor Besme, was restored in 2012 and houses the tourist office. Inside is the city's Golden Book, a 9-metre painting by Antoine Fontaine with 92 figures who came to take the waters, and interactive displays on the history of Spa. Access to the spring is free, during the office's opening hours.
