Tourism Rodez
Rodez is the main city of the Aveyron department housing nearly 25 000 inhabitants. City of history, in the heart of the Aveyron, between Millau Viaduct and Conques, Rodez offers all the good sides of a City in the countryside. Proud of its past wealth, Rodez has made great effort to highlight its heritage tourism.
The visit of its historical center leads visitors to its emblematic Notre-Dame Cathedral in a Gothic style and its old streets and old houses, the museum Fenaille and its unique collection of menhirs and the Haras National. Rodez is a city with a wealthy heritage, standing since the Antiquity in a strategic position at the top of a hill, as a political and economic center in the Region.
In summer, visitors can take part in the “Festival de la culture Occitane: l’Estivada” held in the city five days of festivities and culinary arts, or at the Festival International du Rouergue, which for over fifty years, welcomes worldwide folk troupes in Rodez.
