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.

The international street theater festival which takes place every year in the last weeks of August has made this beautiful town in Cantal famous. Aurillac is also a museum of art and archeology, a very contemporary museum of volcanoes and an ideal horse center for horse riding enthusiasts.
