Eglise Paroissiale Sainte Marie Madeleine

Rennes le Château (Aude - France) a village in south France near the Pyrenees Mountains, where Father Berenger Saunière (1852-1917), whose last name is borrowed in The Da Vinci Code, became a priest in 1885.

The mythology created in the 1950s by the antisemitic Pierre Plantard about this priest and the Priory of Sion became the background for Dan Brown's fiction story The Da Vinci Code.
