The name of Saint-Flour comes from Florus, a bishop who came to evangelize the region in the 4th century. The city, located on a volcanic promontory, is doubly protected by ramparts and fortified gates.
In the 14th century, the city, due to its importance within the Cantal region, received the prestigious title of religious capital of Haute-Auvergne. The numerous buildings from this period are an integral part of the city and contribute to its beauty.

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.
