Panoramic view from above of the resort city of Vichy
This city dubbed the "queen of fountains" is located on the banks of the Allier River in central France - the favorite spa retreat of the French royal family. It has both hot and cold springs. The hot waters are rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, originating from the dormant Auvergne volcanoes nearby. Although less famous than some spa destinations today, the name Vichy is still synonymous with wellness, reflected in the Vichy skincare line or Vichy bottled water. One of the unique things about Vichy is that it originated from several springs fed into the hot bath buildings around town. Vichy is also a great place to explore spa culture and history such as the elegant Parc des Sources, which houses the luxurious Les Celestins spa, the artfully decorated Hall des Sources skylight (you can drink from the springs here) or other landmarks such as the Opera House.
