Mauriac
A tiny town in the Cantal department of south-central France, Mauriac grew from a 6th-century abbey whose buildings still stand, now repurposed as public offices and dwellings. The medieval church at its centre and a café scene in the compact core give the town a workable base for exploring the volcanic Auvergne landscape nearby.
