Vichy Sightseeing

With its idyllic location in a quiet street of the heart of VICHY , the ARVERNA HOTEL invites you to discover
the charms of this spa town and its surrouding region.

Vichy is enriched by its exceptionally romantic and glamourous architecture that makes the Queen
of the Allier spa towns unique in Auvergne .

Vichy is also a place where sport is king. Over one hundred different sports are available all year round. You can practice
golf, tennis, swimming, jogging, wake boarding, rowing, kayaking, paint ball,...
And all of them on the banks of the river Allier, just a few minutes walking distance from the ARVERNA HOTEL.

For those who just want to relax, Vichy is also a place where it's easy to do nothing and just take pleasant walks
in the magnificent parks on the banks of the river ALLIER, contemplating the very old and rare trees,
most of whitch were planted during the reign of Napoleon III in the middle of the nineteenth century.

During the summer season, visitors can enjoy a night at the hippodrome; catch a little ferry boat, La Mouette,
to cross the river Allier where a short walk brings you to the race course.
