AURILLAC

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 926 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AURILLAC , a town of central France,
capital
  of the department of Cantal, 140 M. N.N.E. of Toulouse, on the Orleans rail-way between Figeac and Murat. Pop. (1906) 14,097. Aurillac stands on the right bank of the Jordanne, and is dominated from the north-west by the Roc Castanet, crowned by the castle of St
Etienne
 , the keep of which
dates
  from the 1th
century
 . Its streets are narrow and uninteresting, with the exception of one which contains, among other old houses, that known as the Maison des Consuls, a
Gothic
  building of the 16th
century
 , decorated with sculptured stone-
work
 . Aurillac owes its origin to an abbey founded in the 9th century by St Geraud, and the abbey-
church
 , rebuilt in the 17th century in the
Gothic
  style, is the
chief
  building in the town. The former college, which
dates
  from the 17th century, is now occupied by a museum and a library. There is a statue of
Pope
  Silvester II., born near Aurillac in 930 and educated in the abbey, which soon afterwards became one of the most famous schools of France. Aurillac is the seat of a prefect, and its public institutions include tribunals of first instance and of commerce, a chamber of commerce, a lycee, training-colleges and a branch of the Bank of France. The
chief
  manufactures are wooden shoes and umbrellas, and there is
trade
  in cheese and in the cattle and horses reared in the neighbourhood.
