Wandering through what is now Indiana, French explorers in the eighteenth century stumbled upon a narrow valley where hot mineral springs burbled from the limestone clefts. Animals supposedly licked the rocks and seemingly felt better for it, and the local Indians thought well of the spring's medicinal qualities. These springs are now called French Lick, and here 1,700 acres of woodland and trails, rolling hills and landscaped gardens are the setting for Indiana's world-famous French Lick-Sheraton Hotel. Its guests enjoy swimming, skeet and trap shooting, horseback riding and carriage rides, tennis, two golf courses and a miniature train. The springs of course are as healthful as ever, and their Pluto water is bottled and sold all over the world.
