«Rennes-Le-Château et l'énigme de l'or maudit» is the historical essay by Jean Markale in hardcover (Le Grand Livre du Mois, 317 pages, in French).
The work investigates the enigma of Rennes-le-Château and its parish priest Bérenger Saunière, who at the end of the 19th century spent a fortune on renovations and singular constructions. Markale reviews the case: treasure, secret societies and esoteric circles, and separates verifiable facts from legend.
The work belongs to the collection «Histoire de la France secrète» and includes black-and-white photographic plates.
For readers interested in historical mysteries, hidden treasures and esotericism.
