Known since ancient times, the Hôpital Spring, first named the Gros Boulet and then the Rosalie Spring, takes its name from the 18th century civilian hospital that was built nearby.

The current rotunda-shaped pavilion, based on a design by architect Louis Aublet, was built in 1946. During construction work, the spring's ancient Roman catchment was rediscovered, attesting to its use over a period of nearly two thousand years. Previously, the drinking gallery was housed in a bandstand designed in 1907 by the Compagnie Fermière architect, Gustave Simon, in the style of the promenade gallery and the bandstand in the centre of the Horseshoe shopping arcade. The water from this spring, rich in carbon dioxide, emerges at a temperature of 34°C. It is recommended for digestive, gastric, and intestinal disorders and to treat diseases of the liver, colon, and pancreas. Declared an object of public interest by imperial decree in January 1861, Hôpital spring water is used as an ingredient in Vichy cosmetic products.
