The stays of Napoleon III between 1861 and 1866 were to cause the most profound transformation of the city of Vichy: dikes were built along the Allier river, 13 hectares of landscaped gardens replaced the old marshes, and along the newly laid out boulevards and streets, chalets and pavilions were built for the Emperor and his court. Recreational pursuits were not spared: in view of the park, a large casino was built by the architect Badger in 1865. The emperor would be the catalyst of the development of a small rail station which multiplied the number of inhabitants and visitors by ten in fifty years.
