The medieval village of Conques clusters around the splendid Abbaye de Ste-Foy and occupies a spectacular position on the flanks of the steep, densely wooded gorge of the little River Dourdou,
a tributary of the Lot. The relics of Sainte Foy attracts pilgrims to this remote spot earning the abbey a prime place on the pligrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
