The presbytery, Villa Bethany and its oratory, the gardens, and the neo-Gothic Magdala Tower are all on the estate.

The Abbé Bérenger Saunière estate is a large property built at great expense by the enigmatic parish priest of Rennes-le-Château. The tour takes in the presbytery, the villa Béthanie and its oratory, the gardens, the neo-Gothic Magdala tower, with its exceptional views over the surrounding countryside, and the orangery. So where did he get the money to carry out these large-scale works in this modest village in the upper Aude valley, home to just a few souls? It's a question that fuels fantasies about a hypothetical treasure found by Saunière, and one to which you'll find some answers in the museum set up on the abbé's estate. The museum will plunge you into the heart of the Rennes-le-Château treasure enigma, from Bérenger Saunière's arrival in the village at the end of the 19th century, to Dan Brown's Da VinciCode.

Très beau musée qui permet de visiter le lieu de vie de l'abbé Sauniere, comme s'il y vivait encore.
Le mystère reste entier sur la provenance de l'argent de l'abbé, même si de nombreux documents donnent des pistes.
Très bon accueil. Je recommande vivement.
