- The Gallo-Roman archaeological site of La Graufesenque<\/strong> is a spectacle in itself. Located at the confluence of the Tarn and Dourbie rivers, it was a major centre for producing sigillata ceramics<\/strong> during the Roman Empire.<\/li>\n
- The Millau Belfry<\/strong> is an impressive structure comprising a square 12th-century tower and a second, octagonal tower from the 17th century. It offers a stunning panorama over the city\u2019s rooftops<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

Built in the 1100s, the bridge still stands proud today despite losing much of its structure during the floods of 1758. The old mill, however, is remarkably well-preserved, with its wheels, basin mechanisms, roof, and fa\u00e7ades still visible.<\/li>\n
- The Museum of Millau and the Grands Causses<\/strong>, housed in the historic P\u00e9gayrolles mansion, features collections on palaeontology, prehistory, Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeology, and an exhibition on leather tanning and glove-making, two traditional crafts of the town.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>
