Cette entrée des Thermes des Dômes de Vichy est construite en 1934. Le bâtiment central et plusieurs annexes dont une aile, aujourd’hui encore surplombée par deux tours de style néo-byzantin, qui étaient utilisées comme réservoirs d’eau de source. L’ensemble du site des Dômes est commandé en 1900 par la Compagnie Fermière. Le centre thermal des Dômes a été construit en 3 ans sous la conduite des architectes Charles Lecoeur et Lucien Woog assistés de l'architecte de la Compagnie Fermière Gustave Simon. L'inauguration a eu lieu le 31 mai 1903.

Source Célestins. Lieu d'émergence naturel de la plus célère des eaux de Vichy. La source tire son nom d'un couvent de religieux du XV° siècle, édifié sur le rocher, et dont il ne reste qu'un pan de mur. L'eau jaillit des failles d'une roche d'aragonite, abritée sous un pavillon néo-Louis XVI qui fut construit au début du siècle. La production annuelle de Vichy-Célestins, embouteillée à Saint-Yorre, représente plus de 60 millions de bouteilles.
