Water springs are main wealth and sights of Vichy. Views of Auvergne.

The town of Vichy has been known as a place of healing by thermal water springs since the times of Romans. Now it is a world-famous spa resort, where hydrotherapy in all forms and balneotherapy are far and wide practiced.

The city is known for its spa treatments [9] since Roman times. Its waters are famous throughout the world (sources Vichy Celestins, Vichy Saint-Yorre) but pellets made up from the soda contained in the source waters are also recognized. The health and beauty, with the laboratories of the group L'Oreal, will also broadcast the name of the city to the world under the brand name Vichy. Unlike its neighbors' Allier, the industrial and Montlucon Moulins, the administrative, economic Basin of Vichy is very diversified. The first impression of a city only tourist and spa manufacturing mask a reality (as evidenced by a rate of industrial employment in the local working population above the national average) including the activities of the cosmetics industry, plastics, the mechanical, electrical / electronics and food processing (confectionery, meat). This industry is made up of some big units, but especially for many SMEs. In addition to these manufacturing activities, Vichy poses specific in the tertiary sector with activities including spas and fitness that seeks to offset the decline of medical spas, local commerce, which opened on Sunday, traditionally attracts a clientele of the departments surrounding tourism today and the activities of tertiary education. Vichy is one of the 2 seats of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Moulins-Vichy.
