Conques, Aveyron, France — A medieval gem nestled in the French countryside, famous for its Romanesque abbey, half-timbered houses, and its role as a major stop on the Camino de Santiago.

The Abbey of Sainte-Foy, with its stunning tympanum and golden relics, has drawn pilgrims for centuries. Surrounded by rolling hills and stone-paved streets, Conques feels like stepping back in time.
