Aurillac
Aurillac is located in the Cantal region, in south-west Auvergne (40 kilometres south of Salers).
Like many of the towns in the Auvergne covered by this guide, Aurillac doesn't have any particular magnificent sites or historical monuments, but is a pleasant place to pass some time and soak up the atmosphere.
There is a very nice old town to explore, with narrow streets and a couple of shady squares, and plenty of posh shops to wear you out and cafes to refresh you.
When you tire of all that shopping and relaxing, follow the 'Route des Cretes' from Aurillac, passing between the valleys of the Jordanne River and the Authre River, for some stunning views across the mountains of Cantal, then visit the pretty villages of Albinhac and Brommat.
