From the
bus and train stations
it's about a ten-minute walk down rue Alfred Merle to the main square, place du Mandarous. The
tourist office
is on place du Beffroi in the centre of the old town (July & Aug Mon-Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 10am-12.30pm & 1-6.30pm; rest of year Mon-Sat 9am-12.30pm & 2-6.30pm; tel 05.65.60.02.42, fax 05.65.60.95.08,
touristoffice@millau-clic.com
).
Bikes and outdoor equipment
can be rented from Roc et Canyon, 55 av Jean-JaurA?s.
For an overnight
stay
, try the good-value
HA?tel Le Commerce
, 8 place du Mandarous (tel 05.65.60.00.56, fax 05.65.60.96.50; under 160F/a?¬24), with clean, well-furnished rooms; it's best to take a room at the back, though, to avoid any noise from the square. A bit more expensive, but with more character, is
Les Causses
, in an attractive building on the N9 at 56 av Jean-JaurA?s (tel 05.65.60.03.19, fax 05.65.60.86.90; 220-300F/a?¬34-46), which has a reasonable restaurant (from 65F/a?¬9.91). Slightly further out of town, by the river at 115 rue du Rajol, the clean, traditional
CA©venol HA?tel
(tel 05.65.60.74.44, fax 05.65.60.85.99,
www.cevenol.hotel.fr
; 300-400F/a?¬46-61; restaurant from 75F/a?¬11.25) offers a range of rooms, some with views of the
causses
. There's a good
hostel
about 1km down av Jean-JaurA?s at 26 rue Lucien-Costes (tel 05.65.61.27.74), and scattered round about are several
campsites
: one of the best is
Cureplat
(tel 05.65.60.15.75; closed Oct-March) at 121 av de Millau Plage, on the left bank of the Tarn, north of the confluence with the Dourbie - take the bridge at the end of av Gambetta. Other useful information
