Aurillac Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Aurillac-Tronquières airport is just 4.4 km from the centre, but with no bus: taxi only, about 15-20 minutes. On Avenue Georges Pompidou, the road that leads straight to the runway, you'll find the most convenient hotels for anyone with an early or late flight who doesn't want to waste time in a car. Anyone wanting to visit the old town instead, with its half-timbered houses around Place du Square and the lanes of the historic centre, is better off staying in the centre: the distance from the airport stays minimal, but you can walk everywhere, among shops and restaurants.
