This then creates bubbles; their richness in carbon dioxide makes these waters naturally gaseous. What’s more, these waters contain sodium bicarbonate which makes them the only sodium bicarbonate waters in the Pyrenees, as well as many minerals and trace elements: boron, copper, iron, fluorine, lithium, magnesium…
