Aurillac

Highlight • Other

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.

Saint-Étienne Castle

Highlight • Other

The Château Saint-Étienne dominates the town of Aurillac from its hill. The tower dates from Carolingian times. Few elements of the medieval castle remain, due to a fire in the early 19th century. Rebuilt at the end of the century, it now houses the Volcanoes Museum, a must visit if you are in the region! The castle's English gardens are perfect for a stroll.

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.

Château d'Oyez

Highlight • Castle

The Château d'Oyez is a mixture of different buildings: you will find the architectural remains of an old castle, but also a feudal mound and a seigniorial manor. Strategically located, it made it possible to monitor the Jordanne valley. It is now a private residence but a visit can be organized there in July and August, on the occasion of an exhibition.
