Source de la Doye, Natural spring in Les Neyrolles, France.
Source de la Doye is a natural spring in Les Neyrolles that emerges from underground and produces water with high purity. The site has been officially protected because of its importance as a water resource.
The spring was designated as a protected natural site by the French government in 1909, recognizing its importance for the region. This protected status has remained in effect since then.
The spring represents the natural water resources of the Ain department, contributing to regional identity through industrial water production.
Access to the spring is currently restricted due to water extraction operations by a commercial company. It is important to check ahead about current accessibility before visiting.
The spring's water is fed by natural seepage from a nearby lake located several kilometers away. This underground connection reveals a complex groundwater system in the region.
