Summer in France - day 7: Rennes-le-Château and Nebias
A mosquito bite or thirteen later...
Now that the wind has fallen away, the temperature goes smoothly over 30°C, and you have a sweat attack thinking you're going to move, the mosquitoes are just catching up. We spray an anti-mosquito agent with deet. It helps, but they just find those places where you forgot to spray: the bottom edge of your feet, your elbow... They even bite right through your t-shirt on your back. They're small, vicious, black mosquitoes.
We're going to find some cooling in the direction of Pyrenees. They spend a little more cloudiness there. It's higher there. It just has to be cooler there.
The first main goal of the day: the village of former pastor Bérenger Saunière. The whole village is looking for tourism that revolves around the mystery of the treasure that the local priest may have found.
One of the main points of thought about the behaviour of the priest is that he found proof that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus and had children with it. The Holy Grail would be the bloodline of the offspring. That's why he would have built the Tour Magdala.
