Arpajon-sur-Cère (French pronunciation: [aʁpaʒɔ̃ syʁ sɛʁ], literally Arpajon on Cère; Occitan: Arpajon de Cera or just Arpajon) is a commune in the Cantal department in the Auvergne region of south-central France.

Geography

Arpajon-sur-Cère is located immediately to the south of Aurillac some 70 km south-east of Brive-la-Gaillarde. The town is an extension of the urban area of Aurillac. Access to the commune is by the D920 from Aurillac which continues south to Lafeuillade-en-Vézie. The D990 also goes from south of the town to Vézac in the east. The D58 comes from Giou-de-Mamou in the north-east then goes south-west from the town to the Château de Conros and joins the D617 at the south-western border of the commune. Much of the runway of Aurillac – Tronquières Airport is in the commune. A railway passes through the north of the commune but the nearest station is in Aurillac. Apart from the town there are the villages and hamlets of:

  • Carbonnat
  • Esmoles
  • Le Pont
  • Roquetorte
  • Douarat
  • Le Bousquet
  • Crespiat
  • Le Cambon
  • Le Sal
  • Les Granges
  • Lapeyrusse
  • Carsac
  • Combelles
  • Senilhes
  • Les Quatre Routes
  • Toules

Outside the residential areas there are extensive forests in the south and south-west with the rest of the commune farmland.[3]

The Jordanne river flows from Aurillac to join the Cère just south-west of the town with the Cère continuing west to eventually join the Dordogne at Girac.[3]
