You will love the gastronomy, you'll get to see how they make Roquefort Cheese up-close, it is a great choice if you're traveling with children, and if you've always wanted to learn more about the Knight Templars, you're in for a treat! And, of course, the biggest, tallest bridge ever built, the Millau Viaduct.
