Conques


We discovered the little village of Conques, on the way of St James. As it is a place of renowned beauty, I was dreading a crowded place and the usual damages of souvenir shops. But no, it is a quite and peaceful, place, maybe too remote to be spoiled. A few wanderers, a few talented craftmen and artists, an excellent bookstore. A rare place.

  3. I never travel any longer, just a bit around the area. I feel like I have travelled enough in my life. Seeing and reading about Conques, makes me unsure. Its unique beauty and obvious peace makes me want to walk the roads and light a candle.
    In that last photo, the buildings looks like they are tiny, tiny playhouses. Magnificent!
