Rodez-Marcillac Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Rodez-Marcillac airport is about a dozen kilometres from the centre, reachable by the shuttle timed to flights or by taxi in fifteen to twenty minutes: anyone with a dawn flight gains time by sleeping in the Bourran district, halfway between the city and the airport. Anyone wanting the historic centre, the cathedral and the Soulages museum close at hand finds it more convenient to stay in the heart of Rodez. Anyone wanting to extend the stay in the countryside, among the hills of the Causse Comtal, finds a more secluded alternative just minutes from the city, among woods and trails.
