Saint-Flour and its natural ramparts of volcanic origin and its Saint-Pierre cathedral; Salers, a medieval village among the most beautiful in France; the narrow streets of Tournemire and the tumultuous history of the castle of Anjony… A piece of history is hidden around every corner. Among the largest towns in the region, the town of Murat and its medieval city of the 14th century is not to be missed for its charm, its tales and legends throughout local history. For art and theater aficionados: Aurillac is waiting for you. Equipped with a Museum of Volcanoes, a Museum of Art and Archaeology, an Art Festival showcasing pictorial works throughout the prefecture city, Aurillac also hosts since 1986 every August the International Street Theater Festival offering shows that will seduce a wide audience, from the youngest to the oldest!”

    The Cantal is also (and above all) an exceptional gastronomy that radiates far beyond the borders of France. Savory mouths will delight in the countless PDO cheeses of Auvergne, Salers meat or the traditional pounti (salted cake made with pork and chard).
