Summary
A geological and geochemical survey of the geothermal possibilities of the south-east margin of the french Massif Central has been done; 24- springs are studied on chemical and isotopical points for water and associated gases.
The springs of Lamalou and Lodève area are ancient waters, with depth temperature close to 100°C ; the waters in depth are in one or several non carbonate reservoir.
The springs of Val-les-Bains area are waters with depth temperatures up to 150°C ; a fissured cristalline reservoir can be deduced from chemical and 3H data.
