This small town, not even 10 km from Rodez, hides two amazing fortified churches that, with their walls and ramparts, look more like majestic castles. Also, they have sheltered rooms that visitors can see, but only after having climbed 70 steps.

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 small village of Najac, located a little more than one hour away from Rodez, is mostly famous because of its castle, built in the middle of the 13th century on a hill. Discover the history of this magnificent fortress with the help of a knowledgeable guide and enjoy the breath-taking view.

High mountains and deep valleys frame Valldemossa, the village where the island's first two 'celebrity tourists', composer Frederic Chopin and author George Sand, lived in 1838. Once here, make sure to visit the village's main attraction: The Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa. Originally built as a royal palace in 1309 and later converted into a monastery of the Carthusian order, the Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa is an impressive complex that houses a palace, a church, an old pharmacy, an art collection of some of the greatest modern Spanish and local artists, and the cells where the monks lived for 400 years to find peace and rest. Each cell has its own exit to the garden terrace with blossoming magnolias and a wonderful view over the valley.
