Achieved a long ambition in visiting Rennes Le Chateau today. This is where The Holy Blood + The Holy Grail all started. Got to say that the details in the chapel really are weird and are a conspiracy theorists heaven. An unmarked but plate glass covered tunnel in the floor drew my attention.Turns out that everyone was dynamiting the village trying to find Sauniere's treasure until a by law stopped it.This is one of the last holes. Another odd thing is that Sauniere died penniless in 1922 but afterwards those sneaky Swiss transferred a load of money to his church.
Way too hot at 30 degrees to ride so given up for the day. Tomorrow is day 1 of 2 long runs to get up to the Eifel for Friday night. Planning to get to Beaune, let's see.
