But we still have to move on the next morning... first on the 'Via Podiensis' to Saint-Jean Pied-de-Port at the foot of the Pyrenees, and after crossing it through northern Spain to the Galician 'Santiago de Compostela' with the tomb of the apostle James the Greater.

Conques is one of the "plus beaux village de France", the most beautiful villages in France. The ancient village with its many ancient ruins around the impressive abbey of Sainte-Foy (d. Holy Fides) gives a charming impression of bygone times. Built in the middle of the 11th century, Conques flourished, the cathedral was an important stop on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella. Pilgrims are invited to join the monks in the choir of the church. You can also stay in the abbey.
