La Maison d'Adelaïde

Saint-Flour is a commune in the south-central French department of Cantal, approximately 100 km south of Clermont-Ferrand. Its inhabitants are called Sanflorains.

One of the standout features of Saint-Flour is its medieval architecture. The town’s historic center, perched on a rocky outcrop, is a maze of narrow streets and ancient buildings. You’ll feel transported back in time as you wander through the winding alleys, admiring the stone houses and Gothic churches. One of the most impressive sights is the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture that dates back to the 14th century.

For nature lovers, Saint-Flour is a paradise. The town is surrounded by the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park, a vast wilderness area with stunning landscapes, including the Puy de Sancy, the highest mountain in the Massif Central. The park is a paradise for hikers, with trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging climbs. You can also explore the park by bike, on horseback, or even by hot air balloon.
