Take some time to wander around Rodez and live the memorable experience of discovering all the enchanting villages of southern France; the region, in fact, is home to unique historical sites and a rich architectural heritage. Le Monastère, in particular, with its abbey and medieval bridge crossing the Aveyron River is a must.

There is a lot to discover in the old town of Rodez, such as the historic town houses and private mansions from the 14th-17th centuries, the chapel of the old Jesuit College and the Bishop’s Palace (17th century), just to mention a couple.

The museum might as well be dubbed a collection of anything and everything, which in no way compromises its appeal, but rather makes it rank among the most curious Moldovan landmarks. From zoological exhibits and extinct animal reconstructions to traditional dress and folk artefacts, its expansive exhibits cover nearly everything under the Moldovan sun.
