Works and the constructions of Bérenger Saunière

 Among the set of the constructions of Bérenger Saunière, there is a that is often forgotten of it. It is necessary to believe, that the will of Saunière is accomplished beyond all his expectations. Discreet frame, support of the matter of the invisible, the orange grove of the domain of the Rennes-Le-Chateau Vicar passes unobserved in the landscape.
It is true that the function of this construction is obvious. As its name indicates it that is in this place that Bérenger Saunière placed plants of rare and fragile gases having need of a temperature raised to grow ! |
It is of the less the picture that had his visitors of it. However, if one stands under a symbolic aspect, this Orange grove or tower of glass takes another aspect. It is the counterpart of the Tower diametrically opposite Magdala on the symbolic chessboard of the gardens of the abbot's domain.
During? Certainly, but in the symbolic inverse of the one of Magdala. Picture of the dream, the glass that constitutes its matter is the representation of the will of the invisible. Still in this aspect dualist, the Tower of Glass and Pierre's Tower, of part their very nature, are in symbolic opposition.
All as its alter material ego, the Tower of the orange grove presents a tiled soil that, until again a short time, was covered of a sort of plastic coating. Constituted in the same way it represents a square of 8x8 either a total of 64 tiles.
But the likeness doesn't stop there! We also find in the orange grove, another constituted staircase, him, of 22 walks, but the one proposes us here to descend to the hells! As much as the one of Magdala invites us to go up to the summit of the tower, as much as the one of the Orangerai, invite us to descend in its basement. |

Besides, the symbolic of the door, protecting the access at the staircase, is meaningful: We see on its amounts, a frieze constituted of Greek, symbol of the labyrinthine paths. The journey toward the basement should make itself with prudence in the same way as Thésée made it entering into the labyrinth of Minos, King of Crete and unwinding behind him the thread that Ariane gave to him. |
Nous pouvons constater que l'ésotérisme de Bérenger Saunière n'est pas un vain mot ! Nous avons à faire à un homme érudit sur la question. Pourtant, nous sommes loin d'un symbolisme chrétien
Il est à noté que récemment cette tour de l'Orangeraie a été restaurée par la municipalité de Rennes-Le-Château. Nous ne pouvons que nous féliciter du travail réalisé. Juste un bémol : Il ne semble pas que Saunière est fait placer des disques de couleurs sur les vitres constituants le revêtement de la tour.
