REST DAY IN CONQUES

First stage completed


Medieval Conques

Cobbled streets of Conques
 
Port du Barry, one of the four 13th century gateways of the fortified town
 
Bob and Alicia contemplating their next adventures after leaving Conques
 
 
Looking through to the Port de Fer with old stone grain measures underneath the iron lintel on the left.
 

The detail on the capital (columns) in the abbey.
This one depicting the combat of foot soldiers.

Cheeky imps surrounding the tympanum of the Last Judgement, on a stone frieze above the abbey door
 
11 days down and 60 + to go.....
