 Information fell in the Dépêche Du Midi of the last April 22 and 23 under pulls" it Rennes-Le-Château: Abbot Saunière has a mausoleum ".
This title could not be missed since in "One" of cover.. |

It already makes some time that the topic sat. Works of réaménagement of the domain have been achieved. The first consisted in demolishing the building made of wood that had acted a long time as restaurant. Demolished once, new works began. Gradually, a construction made of stone and marble himself erect.
This building is constructed with the agreement of the city council as the report attests it recorded in under-prefecture of Limoux March 12, 2004. Its objective? To transfer the tomb of Bérenger Saunière of the cemetery to this building !
But why therefore to displace the remains of Bérenger Saunière ?
Let's take the article of the Dépêche Du Midi : " … has remains of the most famous of the country vicars will be removed some shortly. This on his family's demand. " It is indeed on this point that leans the report of the city council and it is what The Mayor of the village confirmed us. We can only be pleased to know that Bérenger Saunière has more descendants who take care of his tomb. It is very a pity that they are not to appear earlier when Yves Lignon founded l'Association pour la Restauration de la Tombe de Bérenger Saunière (ARTBS) in order to remedy the dilapidated state of the vicar's tomb. It is certain, that together they could have made good work.
But why construct a building ?
The article of the Dépêche Du Midi of April 23, 2004 gives us an answer by the voice of Jean-François Lhuillier, Mayor of Rennes-Le-Château : " … Those that are agitated, to take a term already employee, these are the zozos foreign to the township and the pharisiens for that only account the financial aspect of the site. " and add to the continuation : " … The drop that to makes overflow the vase for the descendants that is the rape of the ossuary in summer 2003." There are very interesting precisions. It would seem that the set of the individuals being interested in the history of Bérenger Saunière and Rennes-Le-Château is of the "Zozoses" and "Pharisees" that thinks" that to the financial aspect of the site". Interrogated on this passage, the mayor of Rennes-Le-Château moderates his subjects while reclassifying the zozos" on a category of individuals in which he doesn't include the "researchers" of the affair …
Now come back on the actual mausoleum: It is qualified by the town hall of "worship monument Rennes-Le-Château! This "worship" term can only attract our attention!
An objector to the project says in the article of April 22, 2004 :" The incentive of this act, it is to make pay for the visit. To the cemetery one passes of it without taking ticket", finally, it is maybe that the new religion or the new cult! As much to make pay for the" zozos "
What will the true" tomb of Saunière" become? Will it be demolished? Will it be a new concession bets at the disposal of the citizens of the village? To this question the Town hall of Rennes The Castle, by its mayor's voice, specified us that a cemetery is the subject of an occupation plan and that consequently the former tomb will enter in this plan.
Are we in right to think that the tomb of Bérenger Saunière, that we know in the cemetery of the village, is condemned to disappear? Probably "yes" since, on this day, the prefecture of Aude gave an opinion favorable to the transfer of the body of Bérenger Saunière, but not an official decision! What will happen if this authorization is not given? What will the worship mausoleum become? There also, the town hall of the village gave us a clear answer: If the necessary authorizations are not delivered to transport the remains of Bérenger Saunière toward the new construction, the priest's descendants will displace the body, elsewhere, in another cemetery. The worship mausoleum becoming a homage or a memorial for the old cleaned of Rennes-Le-Château. We can think therefore that the former tomb won't have grounds anymore to be !
Decidedly, every year, Rennes-Le-Château, brings us new revivals.
Besides, these revivals always take place toward the months of April and May. In general, they don't fail to astonish and, in fact, the press wonders. In spite of everything, these events have the merit to make speak of Rennes-Le-Château and permettrent to the tourists and other "zozos" to come to spend their Euros in this charming village that, more and more, makes us think about the famous village of Astérix
Just a last precision :
Zozo: Simple and clumsy boy
