Et in Arcadia Ego

The Sauniere Society, a non-profit-making organisation, was formed firstly to pursue the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau. However the Society’s brief has widened so that now its primary objective is to seek out the truth, Truth or “truth” over an extensive area of history and mystery.
