Blind Spot: The Secret of Rennes-le-Château and Abbé Saunière’s Riches

from Historical Blindness · host Nathaniel Lloyd

Continuing my investigation of the mystery profiled in the last episode, I take a closer look at the riddle of Abbé Saunière’s wealth and the legends of treasure at Rennes-le-Château. I explore the supposedly unusual decor of the church, the plausibility of a Templar connection as well as other possible origins for a treasure, and the first rumors of treasure that started the legends.
