   Henry Lincoln, when I first met him in 2010
A classic film from a television programme of 1979!  Henry Lincoln describes many of the things that led to the book, "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail."  The film is fascinating - even if out-of-focus - and is a hour to intrigue you.  See it here.

Here's a six minute film about the two Rennes.  The blurb said;  "Rennes-le-Château is famous for the legend about Jesus and Mary Magdalene in Cathar Country.  Rennes-les-Bains is a small village where Debowski Productions make spiritual films."  However, the river water at the Fontaine des Amours is NOT fit to drink.  The original source has nearly disappeared.  Click here.

  All that's left of the source.

And this is my favourite.  I think it's the music.  "I come to sing the walk, the walk of happy people."  Walks, rivers and springs of Rennes-les-Bains.  Click here.
