A beautiful medieval town. Apart from the vehicles parked around, everything is as it was when the town was first built. Truly worth a visit!

Half of the famous shops closed, the others including the exorbitantly priced artisanal pole. Bar restaurant folded, welcoming some cold locals! Village that is dying..

One of the largest cathedrals in southern France took around 300 years to build. 107 m long, 36 m wide and 30 m high under the vault. Made of pink local sandstone. The construction took so long not only because of the 100-year war, the epidemics (plague), but also because of the division of the diocese of Rodez in 1317 and then a financing problem. The facade has no entrance gate, this wall was one with the city wall. The flamboyant Gothic bell tower is 87m high and was built in just 13 years by François d'Estaing in the 16th century.

The construction of the Notre-Dame de Rodez cathedral began at the end of the 13th century and was completed three centuries later. Its bell tower is 87 meters high. Walk around the cathedral and look up to appreciate the many gargoyles that adorn the heights of its facades.
