Le chantier du Parc des Sources à Vichy
The Parc des Sources in Vichy will be a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 and has been a listed historic monument since 1994. Since its creation in 1812 at the request of Emperor Napoleon Ier, it has undergone a number of transformations in line with the developement of the spa town. The project to restaure the Parc des Sources aims to breathe new life into this exceptional heritage, an expression of the wild, romatice park inherited from the Enlightenment.
The first phase of restoration word was inaugurated on 21 June this year and residents and visitors alike can now rediscover the park and stroll its paths once again. The overall work on the Parc des Sources is continuing with restoration of the perimeter gallery, the two shopping kiosks and the bandstand.
