Indeed, Vichy is a predominantly water-oriented city, and it is no longer a scoop for anyone. However, few know that Vichy is also an award-winning green city.

pass by

It is clear that in Vichy, there is clearly no shortage of water when one counts the few springs that have made the city known.

pass by

From top to bottom, from right to left, sweeping this endless facade is like taking an amazing lesson in high standing architecture. And the one that is the subject is the former Inn of Ambassadors.

pass by

Exceptional villas and old palaces with remarkable and eclectic architecture, the rue de Belgique is in a way the mecca of the “Golden Triangle” of Vichy.

pass by

Although its highly academic neoclassical style does not allow Villa Strauss to be the most exceptional architectural work on the Rue de Belgique, its heritage importance is, on the other hand, major in the history of Vichy.

pass by

Impressive stature, a red colour that can be seen throughout the street and an elaborate, if asymmetrical, facade ornamentation are signs that you are about to know the history of a large Vichy house.

pass by

If visitors are slightly amazed at the sight of these adorable homes on the shores of Lake Allier, learning that they were built as a residence for Napoleon III and his suite always has a small effect.

You thought you'd seen all the members of the Imperial Chalets series? Let us remind you that it is when there are no more, that there are still!

pass by

Among all the Vichyssian streets that make up our tour itinerary, this one is by far one of our favorites. And if you value aesthetics in general, it may become one of yours in a few seconds.

So how does it feel to be in front of the most emblematic monument of the destination? Admit it doesn't leave you in the dark... Right in the city centre, in a green setting of 6 hectares, the Palais des Congrès-Opéra Vichy is a must visit.

pass by

In the Rue du Président Wilson, emblematic axis in the heart of the city, the Parc des Sources makes us breathe, the old large hotels make us dream and several small covered passages arouse our curiosity.

pass by

There, at the end of this comfortable esplanade, we now invite you to meet with the charming church of St. Louis. Apart from the fact that it is the main religious building of the city, it is interesting to learn how its appearance took place.

pass by

So well mixed with the city’s architecture, that we would hardly pay attention to it, the kiosk at Parc des Sources is nevertheless intimately linked to the city’s history.

pass by

Celestins, Chomel, Lucas, Grande Grille, there are nine in total, nine precious springs still exploited in the Vichy basin. And among the few that are consumed by curists in thermal drinks, is that of the Hospital.

pass by

Outdated, outdated, old, the elements of the past have a hard life when it comes to making a place for themselves in our increasingly avant-garde society.

If Vichy concentrates its greatest heritage pride in the ground, it manages to satisfy its visitors on the surface with a list of remarkable buildings as long as the arm.

pass by

At the gates of the park with which it shares the same name, the Lardy Spring is by far the first thing we notice in the landscape.

pass by

pass by

A medieval pearl of Old Vichy, the Bailiwick House has the particularity of having been built on the old city walls in 1482.

pass by
