Conques-en-Rouergue, a destination between heritage and nature

Welcome to Conques-en-Rouergue, one of the most beautiful villages in France, located in Aveyron, on the famous Way of Saint James. With its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and majestic abbey, Conques is a true gem of medieval heritage.

An exceptional heritage to discover
The Sainte-Foy Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most fascinating religious monuments in the south of France. Its sculpted tympanum of the Last Judgement and its modern stained glass windows by Pierre Soulages attract visitors from all over the world every year. The narrow streets of Conques are also a real journey through time, lined with medieval stone and wooden houses, small craft shops and ancient bridges spanning the Dourdou River.

A natural setting of striking beauty
Perched in the heart of the river gorges, Conques offers an exceptional natural environment, between wooded hills and green valleys. A walk on the Pilgrims' Bridge, built in the Middle Ages, allows you to admire the silhouette of the village from the banks of the Dourdou. For an unforgettable experience, it is possible to hike on the GR65, one of the most beautiful sections of the Camino de Santiago, which crosses striking landscapes between causses and dense forests.

A typical Aveyron gastronomy
It is impossible to visit Conques without savouring the local specialities: aligot, truffade or farçou, generous dishes that reflect the terroir of Aveyron. Lovers of sweets will appreciate fouace, a soft brioche flavoured with orange blossom.
