Prefecture of the Aveyron perched at 632 m on a spur above the Aveyron river, Rodez is crowned by the Notre-Dame cathedral and its 87-metre pink-sandstone bell tower, a flamboyant-Gothic masterpiece visible for kilometres. The Soulages museum, a Corten-steel showcase for the local master of black, has put the city on the international cultural map. Rodez-Aveyron airport (LFCR) at Salles-la-Source, to the north-west, serves Paris and imposes its regulated surroundings. The local economy relies on agri-food (RAGT seeds, Aubrac and Ségala beef), mechanical industry (Bosch in transition) and services.
