A spa town in the Pyrenees, commonly prescribed for tuberculosis patients in the nineteenth century (source footnote at 105.0016; Wikipedia, «Eaux-Bonnes»). It is the cure proposed to Marie twice: in May 1881, when the family quarrels about where she should take her cure, and in July 1884, in the last months of her life.
In Marie's diary
- 1881-05-22 (092.0038): her mother says «que le Mont-Dore m'a fait du mal parce que j'ai suivi le traitement» and «que Eaux-Bonnes me fera du mal parce que ça doit ressembler au Mont-Dore»; Marie is dizzy with the repeated talk of illness.
- 1884-07-03 (105.0016): «Ce matin à sept heures j'étais chez Potain. Il m'a examinée assez légèrement et m'envoie aux Eaux-Bonnes. Après on verra. Mais j'ai lu la lettre qu'il écrit à son collègue des eaux, je l'ai décachetée.» See Potain.
