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.
