The most popular day trip “Rennes le Château” and its surroundings
The tour begins in Alet les Bains with a visit to the medieval town with its ancient ramparts. You will see the Jewish Quarter, the central market square, the Basilica and the home of Nostradamus' family, where hidden codes can be found carved into the ancient timbers.
There will be a welcome opportunity to visit the Source and fill bottles with excellent natural spring water.
Before we leave for Rennes le Château, we will take you to a small idyllic island on the river Aude and offer you a typical French aperitif with a choice of either spring water, pastis or Cremant de Limoux.
Lunch can be enjoyed in Rennes le Château.
Then you will be told the heart of the story. The mystery of Bérenger Saunière seems to be closely connected with knowledge about the life of Jesus and Mary Magadlene, and so gave birth to the secret of Rennes le Château.
With this knowledge, we will first visit the church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene, and then the domain of Bérenger Saunière: the museum, the Villa Bethany and the Tour Magdala.
After the opportunity for stimulating discussion you will be brought back to your hotel at 6 pm.
It is sure to be an experience that you will remember for a long time!
Merci, Adieu et Au Revoir.
