This is the famous Tour Magdala from Rennes le Chateau that the cure Berenger Sauniere built in the 19th century to honour the Magdalene. It was his library, but having had a lifelong interest in the Rennes le Chateau mystery, I have adopted it as my logo, so you will see that it figures on the first page of the site. If you haven't heard of Rennes le chateau , put it in a google search and see what happens. This is the view over the valley from Sauniere's house towards the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Aude departement of France.
