The banks of the Allier
You dreamed of leaving your Vichy hotel in a bathing suit on a hot summer evening to take a refreshing dip in the Allier. After this swim, you would have met up with friends in a bar to sip a margarita or a strawberry gingham before walking down a beautiful alley lined with hundred-year-old trees to return home in the heady scent of honeysuckle. This dream of dolce vita: Vichy has done it.
