Conques - St. Foy
On a "typical evening" pilgrims and other visitors will gather at 8pm in the church to attend a service, ending with the blessing of the pilgrims. After that the Prior of the "Prieuré Sainte Foy", where most pilgrims stay, will stand in front of the church and explain the different scenes of the tympanum. He is very entertaining! At 9pm, one of the monks starts and organ-concert and visitors are allowed to climb up the stairs and walk over the gallery for the next hour. Surprising views are possible, as "upstairs" the capitals are really near.
A very decorative capital. The main part shows a kind of "green man", the top row a fish - and on the top-corners two small mermaids. The decor on the very left seems older, maybe even carolingian. But compared to the the other parts - that cannot be.
