CONQUES
LOT VALLEY, FRANCE
Image Number 167
In an austere and wild landscape, at the confluence of the gorges cut by the Ouche and the Dourdou valley, nestles the UNESCO world heritage village of Conques that seems to be lost in time. Conques is an important staging point on the Way of St James and is designated as a national treasure. Few villages in France (or the world) match its medieval authenticity.
