Croix Saint-Martin is the well-to-do residential district of Vichy, born of the spa boom of the early twentieth century. It holds villas and manor houses on wooded plots, later completed by blocks of flats. The parc des Bourins and its bandstand are its landmark.
Its most immediate signature is its street naming: the streets carry the names of French provinces, Aquitaine, Auvergne, Bretagne, Flandre, Normandie, Touraine, Languedoc, Bourbonnais. That is why the area is also known as the 'quartier de France', with the avenue de France at its head. The two names coexist in local usage, and the municipal district committee does use them together.
One street was checked here by point-in-polygon, the avenue de la Croix Saint-Martin, and sales are concentrated on the rue Maréchal-Lyautey, the rue Fleury and the avenue de la Croix Saint-Martin. The Croix Saint-Martin business park also lies inside the perimeter. 'Rosières', on the other hand, which official statistics attach to the name of the area, is attested by no street and no local source: it is not used here.
The district sits at 1 739 €/m², 11 % below the town average. It records thirty-eight apartment sales a year. It gains 22 % over five years and 23 % over the last twelve months, the strongest rise in the town over the past year.
Croix Saint-Martin is the family district of Vichy, and it is the only area where the detached house really counts in a town that is 78 % flats. What is bought here is quiet, trees and floor area, in a fabric of early twentieth-century villas, about fifteen minutes on foot from the thermal centre. The price, 1 739 €/m² for an apartment, is 11 % below the town average, but that figure describes the district poorly: most of its value sits in a detached housing stock that the apartment average does not capture. Two points deserve attention. The first is the rise, 23 % over twelve months, the strongest in the town, on a volume of thirty-eight sales that makes it credible. The second is the size gradient, U-shaped as elsewhere in Vichy, with a studio at 1 902 €/m², a T2 at 1 457 and T4 and larger climbing back to 1 937.
The average price in Croix Saint-Martin is 1 739 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 326 to 2 027 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
Yes, they are two names for the same area in the west of Vichy, and the municipal district committee does use them together. 'France' comes from the avenue de France and from the grid of streets named after provinces that characterises the area. We use 'Croix Saint-Martin', which designates it unambiguously, whereas 'France' invites confusion.
The district gains 23 % over the last twelve months, the strongest rise in Vichy, and 22 % over five years. On thirty-eight apartment sales a year, the measurement is solid. The cause lies in the profile of the area: it is the main district of villas and manor houses in the town, and demand for that type of property has strengthened since 2020.
This is the area of Vichy where you find the most of them. The district took shape in the early twentieth century around villas and manor houses on wooded plots, in the wake of the spa boom, before being completed by blocks of flats. In a town whose stock is 78 % flats, that is a notable exception.
