Located at 631 meters of altitude, Aurillac is with the hinge of the mountain and the plain. Leaned with the Mounts of the Cantal, crossed by capricious Jordanne, it looks with far towards great south-west with the accents of midday, towards Languedoc and Quercy.
Historical city, town of inheritance and authencity, Aurillac crossed the centuries by keeping its heart. Its shaded gardens, its Public garden whose vegetation is made work of art, its houses several times secular, its private mansions, its witnesses of the abbey city, the bosky bower where it is coiled under the sun or them bragged luminous, are as many stakes for one strolls between yesterday and tomorrow.
Because Aurillac, it is also a Museum of Art and rich and dynamic Archaeology, a very contemporary Natural history museum of the Volcanos which tells us the mysteries of the planet Ground, a reception increasingly more convivial, a Festival of Theatre of Street which attracts a cosmopolitan and impassioned public, a pole ideal horse for the amateurs of horsemanship... And of stroll superb, with foot, horse, or in the car.
