Charming town

By bike you can see this castle from different angles. It is worth the detour.

Superb hike

Superb view of the Garabit viaduct, allowing you to cross the Truyère gorges. This metal structure, created by Gustave Eiffel, is 565 meters long and rises to 122 meters above the water. It was at one time the “highest viaduct in the world”!

Impressive viaduct designed by Eiffel. Go as close as possible for snaps.

This magnificent building which became a fortified castle during the Hundred Years War can be visited. Located on a rocky promontory, it impresses. A little well-kept secret: it overlooks the Babory stream which flows into Lake Sailhant forming a very pretty waterfall. This visit, and this magical natural place, here are two good reasons to make a stopover in Andelat!

Ruynes-en-Margeride is recognizable from afar thanks to its 12th century tower. The latter houses the Margeride eco-museum as well as the garden of Saint-Martin. The beautiful fountain located on Place Gambetta is also to be discovered.

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.
