Vichy has been tied to the Bonaparte family since 1799, when the mother of Napoleon I came to the spa town for a treatment. It was under this empire that the Parc des Sources was created, where you can enjoy water from several different sources for different treatments. Ex. LUCAS is good for skin allergy that is why it is used for spa and VICHY cosmetics. CELESTIN is used for mineral water. LA CHAMEL, HOPITAL and LA GRAND GRILL are widely applied for medical treatment and skin care. It was Napoleon III, who transformed the city. He came to Vichy 5 times a year for treatment and ordered the construction of a new park, roads, a path along the Allier River, a church and a city hall. Napoleon III also brought the railway to Vichy and inaugurated the Opera-Casino in 1865. These improvements in infrastructure helped him in his goal of making Vichy a world class spa destination, the King of Spa Town.
