When to go to Vichy?
A spa town on the Allier, Vichy still drinks its water from graduated glasses under the iron-and-glass galleries of the Parc des Sources. Second Empire pavilions, a belle-époque opera house and bath halls line the streets, listed by UNESCO among the great spa towns of Europe. Downstream a dammed lake turned the place into rowing and sailing water.
