Alain Féral, French singer, actor and poet, moved to Rennes-le-Château in 1984 with his girlfriend Sonia Moreu, where he opened “L'Atelier du Château” that later became “L'Atelier Empreinte”
Alain Féral manufactured the replica “Visigothic” Pillar made out of resin that replaced the one installed by Saunière in 1891, when that was placed into the ‘Saunière museum’ in 1993, and restored the statue of the Virgin of Lourdes.
Alain Féral also became well-known for his model of Rennes-le-Château, highlighting the ministry of Abbé Bérenger Saunière.
In August 2003, when Alain Féral announced his book devoted to the “Tomb of the lords” located beneath the church of Rennes-le-Château, it was only posthumously published in 2022 entitled: Les Carnets Secrets de l’Abbé Saunière.
