Sainte-Foy Chapel

In front of the chapel there is a spring whose water should help with eye diseases. From here you also have a last look at Conques.

Pilgrims' bridge: Roumieux bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Again and again on the pilgrimage route - like here on the 10th stage of the "Via Podiensis" from Conques to Livinhac - valleys have to be crossed and rivers to be crossed. Just after leaving Conques, this is the Dourdou. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older in origin. But the most important thing is that they make it possible – of course not only, but also for us pilgrims on the Chemin de Saint Jacques – to get to the other side.

Conques Suburb

Highlight • Settlement

If you walk from the cathedral to the pilgrims' bridge, you'll follow an old path that crosses a suburb of Conques. The slope on which the beautiful houses of the suburb stand faces south, giving the gardens a surprisingly Mediterranean feel. In addition to pumpkins and figs, there are also banana trees.

Conques

Highlight • Other

Conques is one of the best preserved villages in France. The town seems secluded from the modern hustle and bustle and is protected in lush greenery. It is a high spiritual place which attracted many pilgrims from all walks of life. It is the relics of Sainte-Foy which, during the Middle Ages, earned this place its notoriety. The village has the finest collection of reliquaries in France. Unique fact, each inhabitant hid the treasures of the church at the time, so that they escape the destruction of the revolutionary period.

Conques and the Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy

Highlight • Religious Site

Conques is a place at its finest, born from the depths of European history and left to us almost intact by our ancestors. Formed entirely of half-timbered houses, the town is photogenic grouped around the abbey church in its centre.
In its main structures, the abbey was built in the 12th century. Before that there was only a hermitage, which was founded in the 4th century. By 1840 the abbey had almost disappeared as its destruction was systematically pursued during the French Revolution. PROSPER MÉRIMÈE, writer and archaeologist, on the other hand, intervened so early that he was able to save the church, but not the Way of the Cross, since it had already been completely dismantled.

The tympanum above the portal of the abbey church is the absolute highlight of the abbey. It is a large semi-circular band carved in stone, on which the Last Judgment is explained in pictures. On the one hand you see paradise with huge platters of meat and barrels of wine, on the other hell with agony and chaos.
