Parc des Sources, Historic park in Vichy, France
The Parc des Sources spans 10.7 hectares in central Vichy, featuring covered galleries connecting thermal buildings and the casino through tree-lined paths.
Napoleon I ordered the creation of this park in 1812, transforming marshy grounds into a recreational space following his mother Letizia Bonaparte's visit to Vichy.
The park functions as the main venue for the annual Fêtes Napoléon III celebrations and summer festivals, maintaining traditions from the Second Empire period.
The park is undergoing extensive renovations until 2025 with a budget of 11.5 million euros to improve accessibility and add new water features.
Archaeological surveys in 2021 revealed remains of a 1763 hospital and evidence of thermal activities dating back several thousand years beneath the park grounds.
