Conques, France


The medieval town of Conques is a world heritage site in the Midi-Pyrenées region of France. The abbey dates from the 9th century and is part of the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The village sits on the slopes of a wooded gorge next to a tributary of the river Lot. This photo was taken in the early morning as the mist was just lifting.
