The ecological restoration project of the left bank of the Allier between the loops upstream of Vichy and the bridge of Europe is fully in line with the guidelines of the 2015-2020 agglomeration project, which develops a strategy for the recovery and valorisation of the Allier axis on the one hand, but also defines, as part of the implementation of GEMAPI’s competence, actions to restore aquatic environments on all the main affuents of the Allier River that travel through the territory of Vichy Community. The aim is to restore the banks of the Allier River for more than 4 kilometres and thus contribute to significantly improve the ecological functionalities of the Allier and its banks in the crossing of the agglomeration.
