Résumé

"I approached the Saunière affair with fresh eyes. I had his archive in my hands. I was living in his house, at the meeting place of a mass of information. I was confronted by a public which was sometimes scornful, sometimes incredulous, but always questioning. Each day presented a new challenge - each group of tourists created a new scenario. I knew that I had built myself a public when, at the end of each tour, somebody would ask me if I'd written a book on the subject."

So here - at last - is that book... different, humorous, full of affection for a very unusual priest, packed with details and with documents. The author takes us, step by step, along the trail of Bérenger Saunière, uncovering his secrets until he reaches the point where he must turn and say: "From here on, I must let go of your hand..."

Let us leave the last word to Henry Lincoln, who says, in his preface to this book: "All those other writers - myself included - can only catch a glimpse of the truth of Bérenger Saunière's life. Jean-Luc has felt it. And so this book has something special to offer."
