| South of France Breaks and Da Vinci Code Holidays
The best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code, has become a global phenomenon, and introduced millions of readers to a mysterious world where Leonardo Da Vinci encoded hidden meanings into his paintings; strange symbols are engraved in a remote British chapel; and the Catholic church and an ancient secret society are locked into a centuries-old battle to gain control of the ultimate prize; the Holy Grail.
The Priory of Sion—a European secret society founded in 1099—is a real organisation. In 1975, Paris's Bibliothèque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci. The
Ariege and Aude departments hide such wonders as the Cathar treasure
whether real or spiritual and the secrets surrounding the Merovinginian bloodline,
purportedly Jesus of Nazareth’s true lineage. The untold origins of the story behind The Da Vinci Code, lie deep in the French countryside near our B&B accommodation in Granes. What did the priest Sauniere find that made him rich beyond his wildest dreams? Rennes
Le Chateau can
be seen from the village...Find out about its hidden secret including those alluded
to in the book ‘The Da Vinci Code.’
