Mauriac

Mauriac is a commune in Cantal, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of central France. The town sits on a plateau surrounded by volcanic mountains and features a compact medieval core with stone buildings arranged along steep streets.

Mauriac emerged in the Middle Ages as a fortified settlement in the Auvergne region and grew as a local administrative hub. The town's layout and surviving buildings reflect its medieval origins and its role as an important market center for the plateau communities.

The main road runs through the town center and provides parking access to the core area. Walking through the narrow lanes offers the best way to explore the medieval layout and see the church and traditional buildings up close.
