Discover Rodez
Perched on a hill 120 metres over the River Aveyron, Rodez is dominated by its splendid red sandstone cathedral. The town enjoys a panoramic view from the Monts d'Aubrac to the foothills of the Cévennes, and the steppe-like Causses to the green hills of the Ségala region.
Rodez has become a must-see destination, attracting visitors from all over the world, since the opening of the Soulages Museum, dedicated to the works of Rodez's wunderkind, the master of Beyond Black.
