The city of Vichy is to be discovered, especially for its thermal baths, including the "Vichy Spa Hôtel Les Celestins" which is the largest Spa in all of Europe! Vichy is also an elegant city, where architecture as well as green spaces are highlighted
The city of Montluçon is not to be missed, as is the beautiful village of Charroux. The castle of the Dukes of Bourbon, the various half-timbered houses, the Place de la Tourfondue or the Saint-Victor church make Montluçon a city with an undeniable heritage. As a medieval village, Charroux is one of the most beautiful villages in the department, with its half-timbered houses and authentic alleys. The city of Moulins is also worth a visit, with its national costume centre where nearly 10,000 costumes are presented. The cathedral of Moulins and the enigmatic Maison Mantin are not to be missed.
Hundreds of castles dot the department, and make Allier the second French department with the most castles! We recommend the château de Billy not far from Moulins (13th century fortified castle), as well as the château de Veauce, or the fortress of Le Hérisson. We recommend that history lovers take the historic route of the castles of Auvergne, which will take you past the gates of 46 castles (divided into 6 different circuits).
Allier is also a green department. Ideal for all types of walks, the Tronçais forest offers more than 10,000 hectares of oaks and beeches!
