You will discover the life of the mills functioning thanks to a feudal pond. Mills so numerous in the nineteenth century and so little today in working order. Life in the nineteenth century of a family of "peasants" will be traced to you by a guide. This mill is also the birthplace of the poet Rouerguat "Francois FABIE". Lovers of nature, animals, heritage and literacy are welcome.

We had a great time and enjoyed the glovemaking exhibition. There was a special graphic art exhibition on when we visited on one of the free Patrimoine days. The lower exhibition rooms were devoted to the early days of Millau with some stunning displays of fossilised dinosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

This an important museum for the collection of Neolithic menhirs, household utensils and tools alone. Beyond that it has a great small collection of beautiful Romanesques sculpture in wood and stone, and some unusual stained glass fragments. The small Greco Roman collection has some interesting pieces. Then there are the handful of fine August Rodin sculptures of the former lady of the house, Ms Fanaille, who appears to have been quite gorgeous. All this is contained in an interesting medieval palace that has been retrofitted with a modern entrance, gift shop and elevator system that works. I suggest taking the elevator to the 3rd floor, which has the mind blowing menhirs, and then working your way down, by elevator or steps. With the bargain, month long museum pass to this and the Soulages, we visited the Fanaille 3 times in 3 days. As for the Soulages Museum, it has a fine and revelatory exhibition of Le Corbusier's art thru the summer. Who knew? (I was expecting lounge chairs.) Soulages' work, pretty much the entirety of the permanent collection, doesn't do much for me. Although some are intriguing, many just look like Franz Kline with thicker paint.
