House in Conques-en-Rouergue

AVEYRON – CONQUES EN ROUERGUE

This characterful, authentic and spacious house, built in stages, between the XIV and XVI centuries, was once the home of the illustrious poet Émile Roudié. It is still the property of a poet and art historian, who is the author of the poem “Conques la quest” which adorns the entrance and exit doors of the Camino de Santiago. Conques being a major stage of this journey.
The “Maison Roudié” has one of the few shops in the village, a large cellar with a well and an opening onto the street where the medieval craftsman (probably a shoemaker) elaborated, exhibited and sold his products.
Large rooms with harmonious proportions, high ceilings, large windows, old floors, woodwork and fireplaces, a large bright attic that would serve as a studio for an artist as well as to create additional bedrooms.

The interior layout is simple and coherent. At the heart of the house. A kitchen/dining room with its period red stone fireplace, a vault with a sink and a sculler, a bedroom with a fireplace and a wooden floor, a bathroom and a beautiful room.

On the second level a large corridor leads to two large bedrooms with their fireplaces and regency woodwork, a library/music room with its fireplace, a bedroom, a bathroom. The hallway allows access to the garden as well as to the attic with a chestnut wood floor.

From the adjoining gardens of 1100 m², you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Abbey of Sainte Foy.
The fruit trees were brought back from the different countries crossed by the current owner. The flat part of the garden, very rare in CONQUES, is in front of the house with a vault that supports the upper part of the land, a well and a building where it is possible to create an outdoor kitchen. This beautiful garden offers direct access to the surrounding countryside.
In the heart of a high place of European spirituality where several monuments are classified as World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO: Abbey of Sainte-Foy, Pilgrims’ Bridge, Treasure of Conques, Stained Glass by Pierre Soulages, this building is a very nice surprise and can only seduce you.
