Surrounded by Southern accents and subtle mixtures of warm and cool shades, we invite you to discover a diverse range of activities open to all. What takes your fancy? A visit to the museum after a mountain bike trip? A spot of shopping, a visit to a farm or maybe a show?

In addition to the wonderful charm of its winding streets, Aurillac also boasts a volcano museum and a museum of art and archaeology giving visitors a chance to learn more about the history of the region. The town's more recent history has been shaped since 1986 by the International Street Theatre Festival, where you can appreciate the quality and variety of performances by all kinds of artists from many different backgrounds.

Never-ending series of shows can be enjoyed close up, right before your eyes. A unique experience to be shared as a family or among friends.
