Evaux-les-Bains, with this beautiful mural, is advertising itself. It is, as its name indicates, a spa village. Hydrotherapy has been practiced here since Roman times, but reached its peak at the beginning of the 20th century. There is a lot of art deco in Evaux, located in the heart of Combraille. Art lovers from this period, have fun discovering the many visible works, particularly in the layout of certain bourgeois houses.
