Conques,the treasure of treasures

The Hotel Sainte Foy stands opposite the abbey. This old XVIIth century inn now has all the comfort of a four star hotel, providing an enjoyable stay in the calm where charm and courtesy go hand in hand.

Stemming from faith, the mind and the hands of builder-monks of the Xth to XIIth century, Conques is one of the main stopping places on the way to Compostela.

A masterpiece of Romanesque art, this major ancient monument , has over twelve centuries of turbulent history, managed to protect the Treasure of Saint Foy: the most expressive of the great religious treasures of medieval Europe thanks to the inestimable wealth that it encompasses.

Conques has always welcomed the stranger with open arm, and is still an immensely attractive and fascinating place. Today, in addition to the pilgrimage, there is tourism. Treasure, such a resounding word, exerts an incredible attraction and fascination. An intact and fascinating glimpse of the year one thousand, Conques has recaptured the glory of its past.
