Your Discovery Program in Rennes-le-Château

A Village Full of History

Located 45 km south of Carcassonne, Rennes-le-Château

The Abbé Saunière Estate

Visit the presbytery, a simple home turned extravagant, and discover archives, furniture and models. The church dedicated to Sainte-Marie Madeleine surprises with its troubling details: paintings, statues, flooring and the famous devil holding a holy water font.

Mysterious Constructions

From 1885 to 1917, Saunière transformed the village: Villa Béthanie, Tour Magdala and Glass Tower offer exceptional viewpoints. But where did his fortune come from? Treasure of the Visigoths, Cathars, Templars? Esotericism and religion fuel the mystery.
