Historical & Style Details
History
Vichy pastilles were first created in the 19th century using the thermal spring salts of the famous French spa town of Vichy, renowned for their digestive properties. Originally produced under state monopoly ("Vichy-État"), these lozenges became a staple of French confectionery and wellness culture. This particular tin, produced by the Société Nouvelle des Pastilles de Vichy (SNPV) in the late 20th century, represents the enduring graphic legacy of French pharmaceutical and confectionery branding.
