Le domaine du curé...

Le domaine du curé...
... est un lieu hors du temps avec l’étonnante histoire de Bérenger Saunière, modeste curé qui transforme à jamais le destin de cette petite commune. Vers 1886 il entreprend la restauration de l'église, quelques années après, il se lance dans la construction de la villa Béthanie, puis de la tour Magdala, d’une tour en verre, d’un belvédère, de l'orangerie, et le tout entouré par un jardin. Mais la question principale concerne les fonds considérables dont il aurait bénéficié pour effectuer ses travaux. Il se murmure qu'il aurait trouvé un trésor, ou que ce n’est pas le trésor trouvé mais les secrets contenus dans les parchemins trouvés dans l’un de ces piliers de l'autel qui auraient permis d’enrichir le curé et la paroisse - les secrets restent encore à dévoiler... D'autres informations ici.

THE DOMAIN OF THE PRIEST is a place out of time with the astonishing story of Bérenger Saunière, a modest priest who forever transformed the destiny of this village. Around 1886 he undertook the restoration of the church, a few years later, he embarked on the construction of the Villa Béthanie, then the Magdala tower, a glass tower, a belvedere, the orangery, and all surrounded by a garden. But the main question concerns the considerable funds which he would have benefited from to carry out his work. It is rumored that he would have found a treasure, or that it's not the treasure found but the secrets contained in the parchments found in one of these pillars of the altar which would have made it possible to enrich the priest and the parish - the secrets have yet to be revealed...
