- Places & Travel
There are places in France that are hidden in plain sight. Why? Because they are not in Paris! And today we bring you to Conques, a wonderful village in the south west of France. It’s squarely off the beaten track and totally gorgeous.
Conques (the full name is Conques-en-Rouergue) is a really small village (full-time population around 300 today) that was huge in the Middle Ages. It is in the Aveyron, a 45 minutes drive away from Rodez. It has a huge beautiful Abbey and Church that are a testament to its glorious past when this was a major stop for pilgrims who came to worship the relic of Sainte Foy (Saint Faith in English).
