Take a tour of French Village of Conques in Conques, France — part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the southern half of France is the secluded village of Conques, embedded in a lush hillside.
The classic feudal architecture of the seemingly delicate structures which compose this village create historic views from any vantage point.
Conques features traditional medieval narrow streets, making walking or cycling the primary modes of travel throughout this ancient jewel.
The core of this town has remained largely untouched by outside forces; the natural fortification provided by the hillside and the thin streets have protected this village from destruction and architectural modernization.
The rolling hills surrounding Conques make for an awe-inspiring panorama and provide miles of terrain to explore.
The towering spires of the Romanesque Sainte-Foy Abbey Church stand high above the other structures as the focal point of this peaceful village’s skyline.
