Aurillac is the start of the Ridge road that extends between the valleys of the Jordanne and the Authre and offers magnificent views of the mounts of Cantal. Aurillac has retained its status as international capital of street theatre by organising the Aurillac festival every year. For four days, the town pulsates to shows for children, story-telling, comedy theatre, street circus acts etc. In Aurillac, you can enjoy the famous tripoux, which are little bags of stitched sheep stomach containing pieces of tripe and stuffing.
