Emma's Schedule

When visiting Rennes le Chateau last spring I paid my six(?) euros and was admitted to the mini museum of the church. There was a wonderful collection of church relics, wax figures of Berenger himself and his faithful servant Marie Denaraud, and a collection of personal articles that had belonged to Francois Berenger Sauniere. What was surprising to me were copies of Emma Calvé's touring schedules and a photo of her in costume as a nun. As I have said earlier there is no proof to date that these two wonderful characters ever met, and one has to wonder if these items ever belonged to Berenger or if they had been added to this collection as an after thought or were intended to provoke thought. Either way, I took some photos and have added them to this blog. There have been several attempts at linking Emma and Berenger including the infamous heart in cement with the inscription E. Calvet 1891 found at the lovers font in Rennes le Bains. It has since been chipped out of the stone that it had been poured into and remains another mystery in the story of Berenger Sauniere.
