Vichy is a spa town (70 000 habitants), well known throughout the word. К was created in the 18th century and developed in the19th. Between the two world wars and after the second world war, it became a town with a complete range of urban functions : industry (22% of total employment, similar to the national average) and the tertiary sector (private and public, such as hospital and universities). Thirty years ago, the town faced a twin crisis : the decline of spa treatments and of industry ; this led to restructuring. Tourism now appears the obvious way for development to take place in the new millenium. First, this involves the renewal of the spa facilities linked to health and fitness ; it also concerns entrancing the major urban amenities of the neighting century (golf course, opera house, casino and race course. . .) as well as promoting the town's urban heritage. Today this town located near by Clermont- Ferrand, the regional centre, has developed new forms of tourism, as in other medium-sized town. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
