The garden of beasts is a zoo and amusement park in Gages, near Rodez, 45 minutes from the Maison du Vigneron.

This very family-friendly park is home to many species of mammals and birds. For the youngest, it is possible to walk among goats or hamsters.

The attraction part is more recent and expands regularly. To be sure to have the choice of a maximum of rides, it is better to measure more than 1m10.

Another area of the park invites you to retrace the history of the main villages of Aveyron through a play of lights and automatons. This show takes place every 35 minutes.

A must for gourmets, the south of Aveyron offers great tasting products: wine At Roquefort, passing through thealigot which can be tasted during the farmers' market and as a dessert a spit cake or some cherries of the Tarn valley.

The territory being concerned about its land, organic farming holds a large place there, both through market farming and livestock farming.

 

History and heritage

Impossible to quote here all the heritage to see. You will find at the entrance of the house a wide range of prospectuses.

THE millau museum traces the history of the city, from pottery to glove making. A temporary exhibition enhances the visit.

The website of the graufesenque is a Gallo-Roman archaeological site dating from the first 2 centuries AD Millau then exported its ceramics throughout the Roman Empire. Animations often take place in the summer.

A much more recent work, Millau Viaduct, built in 2004, connects the Causse Rouge and the Causse du Larzac - 2460m long and 343m at its highest point.

Templar cities like the Couvertoirade immerse you in medieval times.

Art is also highlighted by the work of many craftsmen who work with different materials: turned wood, sculpted, ceramic, leather... Crafts are widely represented.

 

 

Unusual

By unusual I mean what you won't see everywhere! Of village troglodyte via a small-scale excursion boat on the Tarn or even the city of stone, a rock maze, created and sculpted by the wind. Part of the old Larzac railway lines have also been rehabilitated in bike-rail.
