“Encausse leaves a mark in history because Marguerite de Valois, wife of Henri IV, stayed there in 1584.
Joan of Spain, wife of Henri de Noailles, learned of the benefits of the waters of Encausse. She decides to go there and asks her doctor Loys Guyon to accompany her. No one having ever written on the virtues of Encausse waters, Doctor Guyon specifies the way in which a cure should be carried out: drink, baths, etc., how to eat [4].
Mazarin, Prime Minister of Louis XIV, also had recourse to the waters of Encausse just before he died. "
