The Abbey of Conques is well worth a visit. Very interesting site with rich collections of relics.

Conques, an important stop for pilgrims on the Way of St. James, which can be found on every corner here. The town itself is like a large museum, it is also a popular destination for architecture lovers.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

Passage of the Way of Compostelle, Most beautiful village of France and stained glass windows of the chapel made by Soulages, make this place a must!

Conques-en-Rouergue and its abbey are jewels for walkers. The town is one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France" and is labeled "Grand Site Occitanie". It is also a major stage of the "Roads of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle". The Sainte-Foy abbey church is a nugget of Romanesque art, embellished with stained glass windows by the artist Pierre Soulages.

The mill of Entraygues is a watermill dating from the end of the 16th century. Intended to produce walnut oil and flour, it played a key role for the local economy. In 1970, the mill stopped working, although you can organize a visit to discover all the secrets of this architectural nugget.
