Its plentiful architecture and amazing heritage, all enhance by its location just by the Allier…
Vichy, the town where everything can be done on foot ! Vichy is located just a 20-minute walk from the campsite. Reach the town centre on foot or by bike thanks to the greenway all along the Allier river. Queen of the thermal towns, Vichy blends a relaxing pace of life with lots of activity. Come and discover a town full of charm, with amazing architecture and neighbourhoods (Old Vichy, the thermal quarter, the Joan of Arc Quarter) and a one-of-a-kind Art Nouveau-style opera, unique in France.
Go for a walk around the parks of Vichy and you’ll notice the chalets of Napoléon III – explore where he used to go during his therapy retreats.
Enjoy lots of restaurants and bars, sip a drink by the water and go shopping in the boutiques which are open seven days a week.
Events happen all season long. Sporting shows, like the Iron Man, cultural and historic shows with the Napoleonic festival, the Jumping Competition, themed parties at the Hippodrome and horse racing…
