Rennes-le-Château

The answer to this question is just so simple. ... let him rest in peace where he chose to be buried ....

I must agree. Why not simply let the man rest in peace? He could not be at peace during his life when he was forbidden by the bishop to do what he loved. In moving his remains, he may then not be permitted to rest in death. I am certain that there are many other ways to gain income from the area. If you see no other optios, I would be happy to lend you my input as a student of anthropology and a man who has been touched by the magic of Rennes-le-Chateau.

I was in Rennes-le-Chateau almost exactly one year to this day. Being there inspired me to explore the possibility of writing my doctoral thesis about Rennes-le-Chateau. I found more beauty and peace there than anywhere I have ever traveled.

I encourage those responsible, please allow the Abbe to rest in peace.

@ Cucchiara,
what is your doctoral thesis about RLC? Would you let aus know some splinters?

The last time I visited RLC in June 2002, it seemed still relatively unspoiled and not TOO touristy, not like, say, Carcassonne, for example. I hope it stays that way.

It seems to me that in the last 10 years or so the Tourist Department (or whoever) in that part of France has been trying to capitalize on the Cathars and anything else they can get their hands on. An example is the rather thin legend of "Lady Carcas" that you see referred to everywhere in Carcassonne. I hope this doesn't extend to RLC and the nearby area. The area around RLC and RLB is still relatively unknown by international tourists. I hope it doesn't get overrun by the hordes.

Leave the Abbe where he is!

And why the hell would one want to do something like that...please tell me....
