Rodez Cathedral
Rodez was Christianized in the 4th-5th century AD, and the first mention of a cathedral dates from around 516.
In 1792–98, Pierre Méchain and Jean-Baptiste Delambre used Rodez Cathedral as the central surveying point for their calculation of the circumference of the earth. This was used in the definition of the metre.
