Conques

Today we visited the picturesque village of Conques. The town was orinally constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries and was made famous by religious pilgrims who came from far and wide to visit the Abbey of Saint Foy.




Had I been living during that time, I think I would have gladly made the treachorous journey to Saint Foy just so that I could stay in one of the storybook houses that cover the mountainside!
