Description

Ancient medieval city and barony, raised to the rank of Good City, the city of Pierrefort is built in amphitheatre, which gives it a certain particularity.
Discover narrow streets, beautiful houses, fountains, the gothic church and the Chapel of Planchis with its miraculous virgin.

In spring, the town comes alive with the sound of the Tersons' bells, during the eponymous festival which highlights the Aubrac cows every year.
In summer, the alleys are filled with curious people with square balls. A convivial and festive meeting not to be missed.
The Caillou Costaud Festival in mid-July enlivens the city for a day with fun activities for adults and children, concerts, market and information stands on eco-responsibility.
