Escorailles
Escorailles is a small commune of 78 inhabitants located halfway between Pleaux and Mauriac, 15 km from Salers. It enjoys a splendid view of the Cantal mountains thanks to the large scree slope leading directly down to the Auze gorges. From Puy Dondon, the highest point in the commune at 808 m, the view rises north to the foot of the Monts Dore and east over the Monts du Cantal range. Escorailles takes its name from a Roman general, Scaurus Aurelius, who is thought to have founded the town in the 5th century.

Show moreHigh valley of the Dordogne
It eventually joins La Garonne river and forms La Gironde estuary after a course of 483 km. Its bed takes it West of the Cantal, winding its way through wild gorge and woodland with scattered rocks here and there : Rocher de Chabane near Arches, Rocher de l'Aigle near Chalvignac. The flow of the Dordogne is halted by a few dams, such as Barrage de l'Aigle. The scenery is breathtaking with a wealth of wild flowers and animals and a wide variety of birds such as red kite, black kite, peregrine falcon, booted eagle and buzzard.
