Rennes-le-Chateau

Referred to by some as "The Village of Mystery", the hilltop village of Rennes-le-Château is situated in the Languedoc region of southwest France, amongst the Corbières - the eastern foothills of the French Pyrenees. Whilst some (well actually, many) people believe there's a Mystery of some kind connected with this village, a few others are of the opinion that there is in fact no mystery at all, and that a hoax perpetrated by three resourceful Frenchmen in the 50's and 60's is being perpetuated today by fantasists and crank-investigators. In any case, this rather quaint little village is set in beautiful and quite wild landscape, and those that visit Rennes-le-Château are treated to some spectacular views. Shame about the numerous tacky, pretentious tourist-pleasing gimmicks scattered around the place nowadays.
