Hall des Sources

Hall des Sources is a glass and steel structure housing five mineral springs with distinct temperatures and mineral compositions. The building's design allows natural light and air circulation throughout the space, creating a comfortable environment for tasting the different waters.

The building was constructed in 1903 as a modern facility, replacing an earlier structure from 1830 that stood on the same site. This new glass and steel construction represented a technological upgrade for Vichy's thermal infrastructure.

The hall serves as a place where visitors can taste each mineral water directly at dedicated fountains, making the thermal tradition of Vichy part of everyday experience.

Visitors can taste each spring water at dedicated tap systems and every variety has its own drinking fountain. It is helpful to allow time to experience the different tastes and temperatures of all the waters.

The interior features decorative elements designed by Léon Rudnicki as well as specialized bells by Lucien Woog that protect the natural water sources. These crafted details often go unnoticed, yet they give the functional space a subtle artistic character.
