Rodez

While in Rodez, take your time in the city to stroll through the historic centre, visit the cathedral or discover the three museums.

Rodez has a population of 25,853 (locals are known as Ruthénois). The prefecture city is the beating heart of the department; as it is for the urban area with which it built the Rodez community project.

The city is over 2000 years old and bursting with history, art and heritage.

Fabulous relics of the most ancient times revived and revisited at the Fenaille Museum… The heritage of a county courtyard and episcopacy that gave it its greatest monuments… Age-old sculptures with a modern feel meet contemporary design at the Denys-Puech Museum… A corten home for the artist Pierre Soulages at the Soulages Museum.

Diverse, action-packed and top quality schedules at the youth club, amphitheatre, cinemas, university and community centre. Sporting events hosted by French clubs, national and international events like the Tour de France, Aerobic Gymnastics World Championships, popular festivals, trade fairs, sales events and more. There’s always something to see or do in Rodez.
