Aurillac

Aurillac combines the working role of Cantal’s prefecture with the intimacy of a compact river town in a way that reflects its position in the Massif Central. The Jordanne runs through the centre, while the surrounding Cantal landscape belongs to an area shaped by ancient volcanic terrain. Medieval streets and timber-framed houses remain in the old core, and the Church of Saint-Géraud recalls the abbey associated with the town’s early development. Each August, the Aurillac International Street Theatre Festival turns public squares and streets into stages for companies from France and abroad.
