Saint-Flour
Saint-Flour is found in the Cantal department, to the south of the Auvergne region, next to the Ander River.
The town is divided into two distinct parts - an upper town, situated on a rocky cliff above the river, and a lower town.
The rather austere Cathedral of Saint-Pierre is in the upper town on the Place des Armes, and surrounded by some attractive buildings and the narrow streets of the old town.
The Gabarit Viaduct close to the town is interesting and attractive - it was constructed by Gustave Eiffel to allow trains to pass over the Truyere Gorges.
It is, as so often with Auvergne towns, the surrounding countryside that will attract you the most, with attractive rolling hills giving way to the more dramatic landscapes of the region.
