This is a join us in France episode 247.

Bonjour, I'm Annie Sergeant and join us in France is a podcast where you'll hear pragmatic advice for your next trip to France.

Today, Elis and I chat about a place

that you may have never heard of,

Kunkh in Occitanih.

There are places in France that are hidden in plain sight.

Why? Because they are not in Paris. And today

we bring you to Kunk a wonderful village in the southwest of France. It's

squarely off the beaten track and totally gorgeous.

Kunk, the full name is Kunken-Rue,

is a really small village,

full-time population around 300 people today. That was huge in the Middle Ages. It is in the

Avirond, a 45 minute drive from Rhodes. It has a huge beautiful Abbey and a church that are a testament to its glorious

past when this was a major stop for pilgrims who came to worship the relic of Saint-Faith in English. I have been there many times, although not as

recently as Elise, who will be telling us a lot more about it.

If you are interested in this episode,

I recommend you also check out episode 245

about nearby Rodes, and episode 143 about Fijac.

Both are in the same gorgeous part of France,

soxitani, where I was born and raised,

and where I live today.
