This medieval village is an important pilgrimage stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela<\/strong>, and is home to an extraordinary abbey, a preserved jewel of Romanesque art. Less than 80 km northwest of Les Gen\u00eats campsite, the village of Conques is well worth a visit. Its wonders can be reached in less than 1h20 by car, via Rodez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the abbey church of Sainte-Foy is famous for a number of artistic and architectural treasures<\/strong>: its tympanum of the Last Judgment and its 124 finely sculpted figures, its 250 capitals, and its stained glass windows designed by contemporary artist Pierre Soulages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itinerary camping Conques<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mobile home holidays in Conques-en-Rouergue<\/a> are possible because the village is relatively close to Les Gen\u00eats camping club<\/strong> as the crow flies (76 km), but the fact that it takes several secondary roads and passes through Rodez explains why it can take you 1? hours to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our campsite in Salles-Curan<\/a>, head north on the D933. First you cross Canet-de-Salars. Take time to visit Saint-Pierre church, “the cathedral of L\u00e9v\u00e9zou”, and admire the Lac de Pareloup<\/strong> on your left along the way. From Pont-de-Salars, take the D911 to Rodez. Notre-Dame cathedral<\/strong>, the episcopal palace and Sacr\u00e9-Coeur church are the three must-see monuments in the city of Rodez. From Rodez, take the D840 to Valady. Turn right to reach Marcillac-Vallonet, then continue on the D901 to Conques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
