One of the periodicals Bérenger Saunière targetted in relation to his activities was the magazine aimed at girls, La Semaine de Suzette.
A reference to Bérenger Saunière in La Semaine de Suzette N° 4 of 28 February 1907 in relation to requests for postcards was discovered in 2011 by French researcher, Jérôme Choloux.
Petite Rose – Merci pour Bluette. Elle l'a déjà reçue. Petit Rose demande aux fillettes charitables d'envoyer les cartes postales qu'elles auraient en double ou d'autres, oblitérées ou non, à M. l'abbé Saunière, curé de Rennes-le-Château, par Couiza (Aude). C'est pour l'oeuvre du Culte
(“Little Rose – Thanks for Bleuette: she has already received. Little Rose asks all little girls with a charitable streak to send any postcards which they may have in duplicate, or any others, whether franked by the post-office or not, to Abbé Saunière, Curé of Rennes-le-Château via Couiza (Aude). This appeal is for religious good works”.)
