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.
Villa Venitienne
Pass by

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.

In the Rue du Président Wilson, emblematic axis in the heart of the city, the Parc des Sources makes us breathe, the old large hotels make us dream and several small covered passages arouse our curiosity.
Eglise Saint-louis
Pass by

There, at the end of this comfortable esplanade, we now invite you to meet with the charming church of St. Louis. Apart from the fact that it is the main religious building of the city, it is interesting to learn how its appearance took place.
