'Clochemerle' is a French satirical novel by Gabriel Chevallier (1895-1969) first published in 1934. It centres on personal rivalries and local politics in the fictional village of Clochemerle, inspired by Vaux-en-Beaujolais, in Beaujolais in 1923 and satirises the conflict between Catholics and republicans in the Third Republic. The book received considerable public acclaim and was awarded the Prix Courteline in 1934.

'Clochemerle-Les_Bains' is the third book in the series. From the dust jacket blurb:

When a spring of mineral water gushes out of a field in Clochemerle, no-one at first is particularly concerned. It is not till the new, young, Dr Suffock comes to establish a practice there, aided and abetted by his plump and pretty wife, Babasse, that an idea is born which is to transform this lovely and lovable village forever.
