The town of Saint-Flour lies on a basalt plateau of volcanic origin. Here, you can enjoy wonderful views of the town from above. The medieval old town, surrounded by a defensive wall made of volcanic stone, is worth a stroll. You'll also find several restaurants to refuel after a bike ride.

Perched atop its volcanic rocky spur, the town of Saint-Flour is the only site in Cantal to be labeled a "Land of Art and History."

Saint-Flour was founded in the 4th century by Florus, a bishop who came to evangelize the region. In the 14th century, the town reached its peak. Its importance grew. This promotion gave it the prestigious title of religious capital of Haute-Auvergne. Civil and religious power long vied for supremacy, as evidenced by the many prestigious buildings in the heart of the historic center.

Perched on its volcanic ramparts, protected by a defensive wall and several fortified gates, Saint-Flour was often coveted during the Middle Ages but ultimately never taken.
