COLD CASE AU PRESBYTÈRE

Presbytère, 11190 Coustaussa

A concept unique in France. A real investigation at the scene of a crime that has never been solved! ‘The parish priest has been murdered! ’ These words echo through the village streets on the morning of 1 November 1897. The lifeless body of Father Gélis, parish priest of Coustaussa, has just been found in the kitchen of his presbytery, the victim of a horrific crime. An air of mystery surrounds the murder of this priest, who was a close associate of Father Saunière, the ‘billionaire’ parish priest of Rennes-le-Château. After discovering the crypt of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Father Saunière had hastened to visit his colleague in Coustaussa. Could he have entrusted him with valuables, documents, or even a secret? Despite an investigation file running to over 800 pages, we are left with the impression that the investigations at the time were conducted rather clumsily. Your mission: to reopen the investigation. Open all year round by appointment.
