Rodez in three videos: city, Soulages architecture and Fenaille’s prehistoric stones

Three selected films introduce Rodez through a regional portrait, the design of the Soulages Museum and Fenaille’s remarkable statue-menhir collection.

Voyage Occitanie’s short portrait approaches Rodez through a poetic narration by storyteller Jean-Philippe Savignoni. It is an atmospheric introduction to the city and its cultural identity, rather than a practical itinerary: use it to get a sense of place, then check current visitor information for opening times and access. The film was published in 2018, so its framing should be enjoyed as a dated cultural portrait, not as a report on today’s schedules.

Produced by Rodez Tourism for an educational kit, this audiovisual piece focuses on the Soulages Museum’s architecture and the sensations created by its spaces and materials. That makes it a useful companion to a visit: it draws attention to the building itself, not only to the paintings inside. It is not a current visitor guide and does not establish present-day opening hours or exhibitions, which should be checked with the museum before travelling.

In this Aveyron tourism episode, presenter Marie visits the Fenaille Museum and its collection of statue-menhirs. The film offers a direct introduction to the prehistoric carved stones that make the museum distinctive, while the galleries also cover the broader archaeology and history of Rouergue. Published in 2019, it is an engaging preview rather than a substitute for the museum’s current programme; check what is on display and when the museum is open.
