Capital of the Cantal, Aurillac lies in a green basin at the gateway to the Monts du Cantal. Longhouses built of volcanic stone, small farmhouses and farmsteads surrounded by meadows make up a bocage landscape where gardens, orchards and land provide space.
Nearby villages such as Naucelles or Ytrac make village life easier, with markets and producers within reach. Exposed beams, old fireplaces, barns and outbuildings define these calm, light-filled houses.
The train station connects to Clermont-Ferrand, Aurillac airport provides connections, and the high pastures towards the Puy Mary open up hiking, cycling and rivers. In summer, the International Street Theatre Festival animates the town while salers, cheeses and gentian represent the local terroir.
