This is the Romanesque pilgrimage church of Saint-Foy in the village of Conques in southern France. Conques is a beautiful village with classic narrow pedestrian-only medieval streets with many of the medieval buildings still remarkably intact. The magnificent Abbey Church of Saint Foy is one of these and is located in the historic town centre of the village. Being an abbey it was once part of a monastery where monks lived, prayed and worked. Built in the architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches, it has a cruciform plan with apse and radiating chapels at its eastern end. The carvings at the Church, such as those of the tympanum of the Last Judgment, above the main entrance doors, are simply amazing!

This beautiful abbaye sits in a medieval city with much to see. Old climbing streets with medieval style houses. Many restaurants and souvenir shops. This is on the way of the Santiago Christian pilgrimage.

The Abbey Church of Conques was a popular stop for pilgrims traveling the Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, in what is now Spain. The main draw for medieval pilgrims at Conques were the remains of St. Foy, a young woman martyred during the fourth century.

Beautiful visit into the heart of L'Aveyron region. A little secluded village with nice cobbled streets and houses taking you back to the Middle Ages. Do not miss the treasure!!!

This was an excellent visit, we were shown round the abbey and cloisters by our extremely informative guide. The Abbey building itself was spectacular and located in a wonderful setting, another of the beau villages of France. We also got to see the treasures (relics) many of which have are invaluable theological value, as well as very high monetary value. An excellent visit, recommended.

Beautiful Romanesque church whose titular saint is (according to medieval stories a about her) a slightly irritable teenage girl with a penchant for gifts of jewelry who has been reported to spurn devotes who brought unsuitable gifts. This church is remarkably preserved and exhibits many architectural features in their 12th century form.

Mezmoring! Be sure to catch the organ concert at night. The whole town is a step back into medieval France. This 11th century church is the gem.
