Aurillac

The international street theater festival which takes place every year in the last weeks of August has made this beautiful town in Cantal famous. Aurillac is also a museum of art and archeology, a very contemporary museum of volcanoes and an ideal horse center for horse riding enthusiasts.

Cycle Route V74 – The Great Volcano Crossing by Bike

Highlight • Cycleway

at Aurilac we reach the cycle route V74. It climbs steadily, at the beginning at the little river La Jour up into the Massif Cantale. It's not much traffic now in June. In terms of landscape, the route is a pleasure.
