Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
To describe this imposing building in front of you, a few key words are enough: Care, Diet and Physical Things to Do.
An indisputable witness to the Vichyssian identity, the Hall of Sources is the ideal place to find a concentrate of what makes the city famous.
In Vichy, you will soon realize, wherever you set foot, Napoleon III will never be far away. He, or probably someone in his family.
