Well if you have ever read The Da Vinci Code or Holy Blood Holy Grail this might be the place for you but in reality it wasnt all that cool. Its definitely more hyped up then is should be. You drive up this really scary windy road to the top where there is a small cute little town and a tower sitting on the top over looking the cliff to the town below.
The story goes that a bishop or something along those lines, in the late 1800´s was sent to clean up this church that was up there. Well he found something, important and sent it not to the church to be varified but off to (Paris I think) to have if varified. Well it came back to him and he began an intense excavation of the area where the church sits. Basically he then became very very rich. Apparently he found some proof to Mary Magdalane and the royal blood line of christ but whatever papers he did discover where given to his maid when he died and (to my knowledge) lost. Whatever the secret was he found its know that he did not want the church involved (maybe he was afraid it would be distroyed like so much of history tarnished by the church) or maybe he wanted to sell it and become rich.
Now I am no history and all this is coming from a handful of books I have read and slightly researched topics but its something everyone should look into its a good story.
