This is the view from the church doors. This village is one of the most perfectly preserved medieval villages I visited. And unlike some others on the Camino, this was not a museum like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colonial_Williamsburg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colonial Williamsburg<\/a> for example, but an actual village. It&#8217;s definitely a pilgrim and tourist town &#8211; as it has been for more than a thousand years &#8211; but it also feels alive, like a proper town. I could easily live here the rest of my life. I quickly ran into \u00c1vila, and we explored together and hit a boulangerie for some walking food. \u00c1vila was also impressed by the place, although she did refer to it as &#8220;Medieval Disneyland&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/53377928996_a6921cf0d6_o-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date: <\/strong>27 August 2023 <br><strong>Place:<\/strong> Conques, Aveyron D\u00e9partement, Region of Occitanie, France<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maps!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"595\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-10.png 964w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-10-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-10-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-10-768x474.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-1024x437.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-150x64.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-1536x655.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VP-arrow-11-Conques-2048x873.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After exploring for a while, I left the abbey church to see the village of Conques and to find some lunch.
