Vichy's Belle Epoque and Art Nouveau landmarks are best enjoyed from the outside with a dog, and most of the town's set-piece sights are open-air. The rule of thumb is simple: outdoor spaces welcome leashed dogs, thermal and cultural interiors do not.
A 700 m wrought-iron Art Nouveau covered promenade created in 1901 to 1902, linking the Hall des Sources to the opera. Leashed dogs are welcome under the galleries, which double as prized midday shade, though the thermal buildings they connect are off-limits.
💡 Loop through the galleries at midday to keep your dog in the shade.
A neoclassical spring pavilion on the Allier bank dispensing Vichy's most famous naturally sparkling mineral water for free. The pavilion and its little garden are open-air, so leashed dogs can join you while you fill a bottle.
💡 The sparkling water is for you; use the still springs for your dog's bowl.
A landmark Art Nouveau opera and congress palace, formerly the Grand Casino, whose Belle Epoque façade is a highlight of the UNESCO townscape. Admire it from the street with your dog; the interior does not admit dogs.
💡 Combine with the nearby pont-barrage viewpoint at the south end of the promenade.
