Around and about ...

It takes about 2½ hours easy walking to arrive at the famous village of Rennes-le-Chateau, passing on the way the cave where Mary Magdelene is rumoured to have sheltered. Made famous by priest Berenger Sauniere at the turn of the 20th century, Rennes-le-Chateau is steeped in folklore and many books have been written about the alignments and geometry of the area.
 

The ‘inverted’ mountain of Bugarach is near by and, close to our village you’ll find the remains of a 16th century castle, the ruins of the Chateau Templiers and, the most amazing sculptures from a local artist.
