How is Conques?
Conques is a town that has a few fixings to get one of the most lovely medieval towns you can see. After my changed excursions through various divisions of France (trips that can follow in my Instagram account at the time), Conques was an objective of spring morning while in transit to my first prologue to Aveyron. Furthermore, there are a few purposes behind Conques to seek being one of the most excellent towns: in any case it is separate in a tight valley that makes it encompassed essentially and green every which way.
It has scarcely any occupants and numerous places of the trademark style of the Aveyron area. There is no development that doesn't have that style and along these lines the concordance of the individuals is top notch. Conques is an excellent postcard from any edge, from any road, from any view. A setting that appears scenographic today, a lucky people to have changed pretty much nothing and nothing with the hundreds of years in a special circumstance.
What's more, what to state about their homes. Both those that are around the well known nunnery that stars in the town, yet in addition those that are to some degree progressively remote, and become separated until they lose all sense of direction in the verdant valley (wherein the stream is covered up however heard with its run).
To oppose innovation considerably more amicably, it is a totally passerby town. Vacationer vehicles are left in the empowered territories (there are gratruitas, and all the more richly paid). It just stays to walk and walk its boulevards. Conques is this magnificence scaling the slope kicks the bucket in the valley and the stream.

Here you have the area on the guide of Conques.
I visited Conques following a vehicle schedule investigating a few divisions in focal and southern France. During those days I was investigating the Dordogne River Valley in Lot , Correze, Cantal and Aveyron.

At the point when one comes to visit towns that have been a haven fit for pulling in travelers since a centuries ago, it isn't hard to be shocked by the components of strict structures (we should not overlook that we are in towns that scarcely have in excess of 300 occupants). Something comparable occurs in Rocamadour (generally close). The Abbey of Saint-Foy in Conques is stunning and stars in the engineering of the town, standing apart with its towers and tallness.
The nunnery church of Sainte-Foy de Conques is the structure that casings the town. What's more, it is viewed as a Romanesque showstopper in southern France.

The popularity of the relics pulled in an ever increasing number of explorers from that point forward, alongside the riches for the cloister.

The Treasury Museum of the Abbey . As an oddity, the reliquary and gold and silver fortune questions in Conques were safeguarded until today, an authentic irregularity contrasted with different reliquaries and fortunes that didn't endure the burglaries, voracity or decimation of wars and fiascoes. Today in the convent you can flaunt one the most awesome strict fortunes in France. There is absolutely a gallery where this legitimate fortune is displayed in the structure that is alongside the old shelter. In spite of the fact that the exhibition hall is little, there is an assortment of colossal worth, which was additionally safeguarded by local people themselves when endeavors were made to reallocate strict fortunes during the French Revolution.
