Aurillac, prefecture of the Cantal département, has a population of 25,500. The Jordanne, a tributary of the nearby Cère, flows through the town. It was the arrival of the railroad in 1866 that accelerated the development of the town, known since the 9th century but certainly built on a primitive site. Several industries are based here, and umbrella-making is one of its specialties. Aurillac boasts a rich historical heritage, including the Château Saint-Étienne, home to the Musée des Volcans. A renowned festival, the International Street Theatre Festival, takes place every year in the third week of August.
