This historical image, taken in 1910, showcases a group of visitors casually gathered around a fountain, each one holding a glass and taking a sip from the mineral-rich waters of the spring. The Vichy spa, located in the Auvergne region of France, was famous for its therapeutic waters, which were believed to have healing properties. The town became a popular destination for the European elite and the bourgeoisie, who came seeking relief from various ailments and to enjoy the social scene.

This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Vichy spa and the allure of the spa culture that flourished during this period. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people in the image, their reasons for visiting the spa, and the experiences they had during their stay. Overall, "Vichy Drinkers" is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the traditions that shaped European society.
