Built with metal, tiles and glass, its incredible architecture has remained intact over the years, giving it a constant beauty. All of this gives it an extraordinary charm, in short, a visit not to be missed!


The magnificent Napoleon III cottages


The Napoleon III cottages, with their Swiss or English colonial style, were built in 1863 and 1864 respectively, at the request of Napoleon III. A series of houses, also in English style, can be found in the vicinity of the chalets and can be contemplated during your walk.


The Celestins Spring


Known for its water, Vichy has in its heart a natural place where water emerges. Today, there is a single section of wall that remains of the 15th century religious convent.


The parks of Napoleon III and its green spaces


While walking in the city of Vichy, you will be surprised to note the important part of greenery which is present there. Indeed, the parks, squares, gardens and green spaces represent nearly 17% of the total surface of the city. Your visit will be largely made up of the contemplation of its sublime greenery which composes it, but also of the banks of the Allier.

The Napoleon III park alone represents 7.8 hectares and counts 138 different species, such as redwoods coming straight from California.
