Conques - Carnet de Voyage

Abbaye Cistercienne du village de Conques|
Rodez-Conques distance: 38.5km, 45 min drive.
An extraordinary gift of light floods into the Romanesque Sainte-Foy Abbey Church through 104 contemporary stained-glass windows by Pierre Soulages. A gift of intimacy that radiates over the austere interior. Man and matter.
Conques is also apart of the most beautiful towns in France.
Conques has been a key stage on the Way of Saint James since the Middle Ages and famous for being a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Conques treasure is the richest in France and among the 5 greatest European treasures in medieval goldsmithery.
