Car Hire Rodez City

The road network and Rodez town’s proximity to the A75 and A20 motorways allow you to reach Toulouse in 1h45, and Montpelier, Clermont and Limoges in 2h30. Locally, the numerous public transport services make it possible for you to travel around Rodez and the surrounding area with ease.

Located at the confluence of the Aveyron and Auterne rivers, overlooking the Plateau de Segala, the medieval city of Rodez was divided in two by political conflict. Until the 1960s, Rodez was synonymous with back-country poverty and underdevelopment. Today Rodez is an active and prosperous provincial town with a charming, renovated centre, even though the approach, through spreading commercial districts, is uninspiring.

Rodez is situated between the lush Segala Hills and the contrasting arid limestone plateaux of the Grands Causses with their strange rock formations called ‘chaos’ which resemble ruined cities.

Capital of the Rouergue, Rodez is situated in the heart of the Aveyron district.

Lying in the centre of a triangle formed by Toulouse, Montpellier and Clermont-Ferrand, its geographical situation makes it the focus of local representatives’ attention.
