View of the Truyère Gorges

Highlight • Other

A must in Auvergne. Taking its source in Margeride, the Truyère has carved out grandiose and wild gorges. 3 successive large lakes have taken possession of it, the Garabit-Grandval, Lanau and Sarrans lakes. Bordering the department on 75 km and 2300 ha, these dam lakes blend into a remarkable nature and heritage

Saint-Flour

Highlight • Settlement

The name of Saint-Flour comes from Florus, a bishop who came to evangelize the region in the 4th century. The city, located on a volcanic promontory, is doubly protected by ramparts and fortified gates.

In the 14th century, the city, due to its importance within the Cantal region, received the prestigious title of religious capital of Haute-Auvergne. The numerous buildings from this period are an integral part of the city and contribute to its beauty.

The Garabit Viaduct, built by Gustave Eiffel three years before the Eiffel Tower in Paris, is THE historical monument of Cantal!
It is a railway viaduct 565 meters long and 122 meters high which made it possible to cross the Truyère on the line linking Neussargues to Béziers.
