Conques

“An enchanting village deep in a Lot Valley, South West France. I first came across this charming village while on my walk. Called to pilgrimage on The Chemin St Jacques, an ancient trail in France linking to the Camino in Spain. My destination was Santiago De Compostela. Buen Camino, a salutation offered while passerby’s honoured the ancient tradition of solitary walks. Europe riddled with pathways, this route called The Grande Randonne 65 meanders from Le Puy-en-Velay through dark forests, narrow mountain trails along rivers, past farmsteads and medieval hamlets of stone walls, slate rooftops, stone fenced pastures. Conques, in Averyon  is tucked into a valley, originally approached by the ancient path, today its road follows Le Lot River twisting to reveal a most charming walking town. A carport on the outskirts invites day tripping walkers to enter its gates, meander past warmed stone homes, shops, restaurants. The spired views a way shower to distant Romanesque Abbey  guides one to its heart. Over the years many return visits to Conques feels unique, a pilgrimage. The soaring St Foy 11th Century Abbey pulls me to inner chambers, cavernous yet offering niches to meditate, quiet places to feel whispers of thousands of pilgrims over ten centuries wrestling with inner needs, desires and yearnings.
Each visit to Conques I feel profound gratefulness having discovered this ancient village.” J
