\"\"Les Labadous is a peaceful place. The name, in the old Occitan language, refers to cleansing. Many find a clean energy here, a calm that allows healing and gives us access to the essence beyond a busy life.<\/p>\n

Centre Les Labadous offers nicely equipped rooms<\/a>, studios<\/a> and apartments<\/a>. For groups, a large communal hall can seat up to 80.<\/p>\n

The Center is situated in the valley south of Rennes-le-Ch\u00e2teau, along the “Ruisseau de Couleurs”, bordered by huge black poplar trees.<\/p>\n

Rennes-le-Ch\u00e2teau<\/a> is a small but renowned village, both for its location and a history that dates back to ancient times. Apart from fabulous views from the hilltop, it offers many attractions that evoke\u00a0legends<\/a>, old and new. Especially those surrounding B\u00e9renger Sauni\u00e8re, the \u201cmillion dollar priest\u201d. His heritage includes the Tour Magdala and Villa Bethania,, a lovely garden and the famous church dedicated to Mary Magdalene, with an odd statue of the devil (aka Asmodeus).<\/p>\n

La Fontaine des Amours<\/p><\/div>\n

Centre Les Labadous is located in the middle of the \u201cPays Cathare\u201d, where landscapes of stark beauty and contrast invite you to explore. Springs and creeks harbour places of magical calm, such as Fontaine des Amours.\u00a0Forests and open valleys offer an endless variety of walks. Famed mountains, such as the Pech Bugarach and Pech Cardou, add serious hiking with great views. Or you may want to explore one of the Cathar castles, a Medieval fortress, visit a quiet abbey or church, explore a cave, traverse an impressive gorge, lose yourself in a green labyrinth (or try not to)\u2026<\/p>\n

Some visitors are fascinated by sacred geometry, UFO sightings, the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail and the Arc of the Covenant\u2026 Inspired by the treasures and mysteries of Rennes-le-Ch\u00e2teau, over 600 books have been written about these topics. Included are \u00a0bestsellers like \u201cThe Holy Blood and the Holy Grail\u201d and the \u201cDa Vinci Code\u201d.<\/p>\n
