Le site internet de Bugarach :
Mon pari de 2012 :
En attendant, le jour J tant redouté, un arrêté municipal interdit l'accès au pic de Bugarach pendant tout le mois de décembre. Un dispositif de sécurisation a été mis en place par la Préfecture de l'Aude :
[Note du Curateur] A Burarach, quand la Municipalité a un but, on imagine toujours l'équipe Delord en blanc ! Bizarre non ?
Par contre, comme l'avenir y est assuré, il est normal que l'on y investisse dans la pierre. D'ailleurs, qu'en pensent là-bas tous les Gens ? : "Pierre, de l'or !" Et ce n'est pas Monsieur* le Maire qui nous contredira.
* Jean-Pierre Delord
Finalement, le Monde entier en a été le témoin, le village de Bugarach a bien survécu à l'Apocalypse... médiatique. Il n'a perdu que sa carte d'identité http://sco.lt/8RM0dV , je propose donc qu'on le rebaptise en "BuzzGarage".
Jacques Le Bris's insight:
Je décerne le titre de Buzzmeister à Monsieur le Maire qui a fait connaître son village au Monde entier suite à cet article http://sco.lt/7NYd1t
On trouve depuis toute une série d'articles sur le sujet : http://www.lindependant.fr/aude/bugarach/
Il a aussi mis en évidence comment la presse internationale réussit à créer un buzz à propos de tout et surtout de rien. L'état de l'art du journalisme est donc devenu : Faire monter la mayonnaise sans biscuit. Le verbe "bougaracher" est un néologisme qui veut dire : faire un buzz à propos d'un non évènement.

Syvain Durif, alias "le Christ cosmique", veut racheter un château pour y installer "le siège du Cosmos"
Sylvain Durif, également connu sous le nom du “Christ cosmique” a le projet d'acheter un château près de Grenoble. Un projet à 221 millions d'euros.
Sylvain Durif, aussi connu comme le “Christ cosmique, s'était fait connaître en 2012 comme figure emblématique de Bugarach, village audois qui aurait dû être le seul à échapper à la fin du monde. En 2017, le quinquagénaire avait également fait parler de lui en se déclarant candidat à la Présidentielle.
Aujourd'hui, Sylvain Durif souhaite se lancer dans un nouveau projet, comme le rapporte Le Dauphiné Libéré. Il souhaite acquérir Fort Queyras, un château près de Grenoble, afin d'y installer “le siège du Royaume de France, du monde et du Cosmos”. “Le choix de Château Queyras m’a été indiqué par des signes et éléments de synchronicité”, explique-t-il ainsi à nos confrères. Un projet pour lequel il propose 2 millions d’euros pour l’achat, 20 millions pour la restauration et un “investissement complémentaire de 200 millions d’euros” à terme.
L'actuel propriétaire du château ne semble cependant pas vraiment disposé à vendre son bien pour un tel projet. De son côté, le “Christ cosmique” assure qu'il participera à la prochaine audience d’enchères.

There are some who believe in the extraterrestrial, and others who believe they can be rescued by it... like in the village of Bugarach. In 2012 internet-fueled terror struck many people around the world of impending doom that the Mayans had long since foretold. It was clear that on 21 December 2012, the earth was about to reverse its rotation - hurling everyone into space, or that the planet, Nibiru, was about to collide with earth, or something else ridiculously apocalyptic. Burgarach in France has been one of the main places in Europe people have claimed to have seen UFOs. What happened here a decade ago is more absurd than the absurd comedies quoted below. Bugarach In FranceBugarach is a tiny (but beautiful village in the South of France in the Pyrennes close to the border with Spain. It is a place that has been unfortunate to have attracted New Agers and esoterics questing for its aliens and salvation.
A Page Out Of Hitchhiker's Guide To The GalaxyBut for some of these terrified souls, they found solace in the knowledge that they could make it off the doomed celestial sphere and be rescued by aliens. It kinda reminds one of Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy: "People of Earth, As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes." Fortunately, the book's hero's, Author and Ford, managed to hitchhike and catch a lift on a space freighter and managed to flee the earth's demolition. But while the absurdity and satire of Hitchhiker's Guide are enough to keep readers in stitches, it is crazy to think that some people actually thought and acted on the belief that something analogous to that was actually about to happen. Related: 10 Places To Search For Aliens (Outside Of Area 51) Why People Thought Pic de Bugarach Would Be Their SalvationIt started in the 1960s and 70s when the mountain by the village called Pic de Bugarach became popular with the hippie movement and the with New Agers later on. The mountain's unusual geology attracted them and soon they believed that the "upside-down mountain" had mystical powers. Just like the famous witch scene from Monty Python's 1975 movie Holy Grail, the logic was sound. Monty Python's Logic To Find Out If The Woman Was A Witch:
Here the logic may have been a bit more: the mountain has unusual geology, therefore it's upside down, which means that it has mystical powers, and that means that aliens are living in the mountain in their spacecraft, so logically the adjacent village would be spared by aliens from the impending 2012 apocalypse foretold by the Maya.
What Happened In 2012 At BugarachOne can understand Douglas Adam's book about the world being a mental asylum when The Independent reported that up to 100,000 people may have been planning a trip there in a quest for salvation. The mayor of the closest town (Bugarach) reported that over 20,000 visitors had arrived between January and July 2011 and believed many more would be flooding in as the apocalypse neared. He also reported that groups were taking part in strange rituals.
Some individuals even bought land in the mountain planning to build bunkers there. In the end, the French police even blocked access to the mountain out of fear that some of the groups were planning a mass suicide. At one point the mayor was evening considering calling in the army to help out with this concern. It may come as a surprise, but there is no recorded evidence that aliens ever did emerge from their cozy little hiding place in the South of France. Nor did they get a ride off this world. They didn't even manage to hitchhike on a Vogan space freighter.
Related: What We Know About Area 51 And What We'd Like To Know If We Could Visit Perhaps NASA Has The Real Prophetic PowersPerhaps the real prophet with mystical powers to actually foretell the future is none other than NASA (maybe they found a crystal ball at the alien crash site at Roswell, New Mexico, or something). NASA posted and prophesied on its website: "NASA is so sure the world won't come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012, they have already released this news item for the day after. Dec. 22, 2012: If you're reading this story, it means one thing: The World Didn't End Yesterday. According to media reports of an ancient Maya prophecy, the world was supposed to be destroyed on Dec. 21, 2012. Apparently not."

Pic de Bugarach in Aude, France, is a place that effortlessly combines natural wonder and legends. Add to its history a heaping portion of serious scientific misunderstandings, flavor with rumors and imaginative speculation, then bake for centuries, and the result is a bizarre mashup of fact and fiction that satisfies in our modern spooky times.
There are so many sacred mountains around the world. Perhaps every significant peak has its own mythical origin story. Pic de Bugarach, ranks near the top. Its geological oddness was recognized early in the scientific community as one of the “Pyrenean Paradoxes”. But the copious number of metaphysical claims about this particular mountain is striking. To demonstrate the weirdness, I can’t do better than to quote from a horrendous website called Mary Magdalene France Tours. I leave the spelling and punctuation as in the original:
The writer then meanders into musing about earth chakras, but I will spare you any more of this “sciencey New Age” (or “Sewage”) prattle. This source hits upon most of the claims about the mountain that circulate in fiction (which some think are fact), in paranormal circles, and in modern media. The town of Bugarach itself even capitalized on the weirdness for their own means. ClaimsYou don’t need extra-sensory ability to notice that the mountain above the sleepy commune-village of Bugarach has a certain presence. Its height at 1230m, while not towering, is enough to generate clouds that shroud the peak. Sources mentioned it is also called ”the crossroads of the four winds” and link it to Atlantis (of course). A few online sources give a magical origin to the peak saying (without reference) that the name is derived from the tale of two brave dwarfs (or children of Jupiter) called Bug and Arag who were granted a wish by the Gods. They wished for a mountain that would shelter the three regions of Roussillon, Corbieres, and Aude. More legitimate sources ignore that tale and opt for a more mundane naming of the village from a Roman settler. The mountain has caves that are said to be “magical” or full of beautiful crystals. There are rumors of a river and lake under the mountain. There are also stories of old mines and burial crypts. The caves are linked to the colorful conspiratorial tales about Mary Magdalene, and even Jesus, escaping to France. The Cathars, a religious sect in opposition to the Catholics, supposedly hid sacred items in the area, including perhaps in these caves, and kept the location secret and protected. Pic de Bugarach is only about 20 miles from Rennes-le-Chateau, one of the rumored resting places of the lost treasure of the Knights Templars. Daniel Bettex was consumed by his search for the Ark of the Covenant in the mountain. In 1988, his correspondence to others relates that he was looking for the entrance to this hidden world of treasure. When he seemed days away from a revelatory discovery, he was found dead. The circumstances of his death were never made clear and feed additional conspiracies about clandestine groups still guarding the mountain and various secrets or treasures. The most durable claim is that the mountain is a place of special energy. This is often associated with its unusual geology but also that it is located on the Paris meridian ley line and is part of a system of sacred geometry of earth features. The mountain is said to be “magnetic” and cause compasses to malfunction, so much so that planes will not fly over it because their equipment fails. The nebulous “energy” seems to affect some people positively and others negatively. Strange sounds and lights are said to come from inside. These arcane stories morphed in recent times to encompass the belief that the mountain was a UFO base. The caves, which were also thought to be a passage to the hollow earth or another dimension, were now a hiding place for alien craft. InspirationIt is not altogether clear why the mountain of Bugarach was considered sacred and why it motivated many in the weaving of such fantastic yarns. Jules Verne was influenced by it and ultimately strengthened its mysterious nature. Bugarach is said to be where he found the inspiration (and the entrance) for his Journey to the Center of the Earth. Famous sci-fi story weaver Stephen Spielberg also poked around here and may have formed ideas for Close Encounters of the Third Kind, prior to choosing Devils Tower in Wyoming as the alien rendezvous location. We can see several similarities between the two locations! But in several ways, Bugarach has the upper hand in weirdness. The swirling mysteries of Pic de Bugarach coalesced in 2012 around the imaginative rumblings about the Mayan apocalypse. In the approach to the so-called doomsday, the mayor of Bugarach appealed to authorities to help him safeguard his village from the hoards of “esoterics” that were coming to the mountain because of its sacred energy. A narrative emerged that the alien craft holed up inside the mountain caves would emerge on the day of destruction and whisk away the lucky pilgrims. The mayor clearly embellished the stories as a way to push out unwanted visitors, depicting them as a possible suicide cult. The media took the bait, repeating many of the spooky and outrageous claims about the village’s magic mountain.
The hot topics of aliens and Mayans intersecting at one sacred mystical mountain were headline gold. The apocalypse at the end of 2012 in all aspects was a giant bust. The mountain was quiet; no crowds came. GeologyWhat’s next is to unpack the actual geology of the Pic de Bugarach. Crazy stories are fun and popular and blatant errors will regularly be passed on and assumed to be factual. Several popular sources repeat the misleading information that the mountain was an ancient volcano. In one absurd book, author Richard Leviton (Walking in Albion, 2010) compares it to Tolkien’s land of Mordor. Although there are extinct volcanoes in the area, Pic de Bugarach isn’t one. Tales of smoke from the mountain are more likely from the clouds that readily condense around it. Esoteric writer Phillip Coppens repeats that claim that Bugarach is an “upside down mountain” because the layers are millions of years older than the strata below. “It is as if someone shot the mountain in the air, flipped it around, and then it landed again.” Well… No. It’s not like that at all and no reasonable geologist would think this. But the analogy was gratuitously included in several media reports during the 2012 frenzy:
Maybe the media should ask an actual scientist/geologist instead of esotericists because, as we look back to the early days, geologists had a pretty good idea of what really happened here. Back in the late 1800s, geology was congealing as a science, particularly in Europe. There was not just one but many “paradoxical” locations in the Pyrenees where the law of superposition appeared to be violated. The idea of nappes — large-scale overthrusts on a low angle fault plane caused by compression — had formed based on observations in the European Alps. Nappe (pronounced “nap”) belts were confirmed in similar locations: the Dinarides, Carpathians, and Balkans. Calling the circumstances nappe de charriage (thrust sheets), Marcel Alexandre Bertrand had examined earlier studies from the Glarus Alps and unraveled the tectonic story of rock layers that had been pushed, folded, and stacked upon each other like a rumpled cloth pushed across a table. The scientists of the time recognized the idea of compression of the crust but thought it was a result of the shrinking and cooling of the earth. The timing was just not right for anyone to recognize plate tectonics in action. Parts of a nappe belt can become isolated when erosion dismembers the overthrust layer. These are called klippen. A klippe (pronounced “klip’-uh”) is an island of older rock with younger ones around it. So, it looks “upside down”. Pic de Bugarach is a klippe where Jurassic limestones were thrust over younger Cretaceous strata. In 1889, geologist M. Carez had determined Pic de Bugarach was related to charriage. Rock masses are compressed so that the older rock (gray) over-rides the younger rock (white).Later, erosion leaves windows and klippen as outliers. No scientist ever had seriously held that Pic de Bugarach was a volcano or a mountain top blown over. Perhaps the idea of “overthrown” strata in the description of the formation of a nappe was misinterpreted by someone who wasn’t versed in geological concepts, and the sciencey-sounding idea was interesting enough to repeat. There may be small caves in the limestone but this is not a developed karst system. It’s wishful thinking alone to expect that there are reasonable hiding places for treasure here, not to mention the existence of such treasures to begin with. The exaggerated tales of energy and magnetism are also unfounded. Such claims can easily be tested but people would rather keep repeating the magical stories instead. Even today, Bugarach is still plagued by misleading publicity and opportunists. The New Age Sewage continues to be propagated, unabated by facts and reality. People collect and sell ‘authentic’ Pic de Bugarach pieces to sell to the esoterics worldwide, much like magical crystals. Across the world, misunderstanding of geology and natural features can lead people to think certain places are sacred, abodes of the gods or spirits, or doorways to evil realms. Like molten blobs, the stories accrete onto the place. This isn’t always a bad thing, but it can be. And the nonsense can mask a more elegant truth underneath.

Bugarach is a commune in the Aude department in southern France, around 35 km south of Carcassonne. The economy is based on agriculture and tourism, attracting many New Age adherents. Bugarach is at the foot of Pic de Bugarach, a 1,230 metres (4,040 ft) mountain peak and the highest summit in the Corbières mountains. The peak is also called the "upside down mountain" as the top layers of rock are older than the lower layers due to uplift of the Pyrenees. It is also located on the Green Meridian. The location is mentioned for the first time as Villa Burgaragio in 889 AD ; it derives from the German name Burghar and name "Bugari" of the Bulgarian Bogomilis in medieval France. In the 18th century the village became known for manufacturing wooden tools and hats. In modern times many esoteric and UFO legends have been connected to this place. The major economic activity of the village and surrounding region is agriculture and tourism. Demand for holiday cottages and popularity with New Age followers led to a rise in real estate prices. In the 1960s and 70s Pic de Bugarach became popular with the hippie movement. Later in the 20th century it became popular with New Age followers who believed the "upside down mountain" had mystical powers, spreading to the belief that the village would be spared in the 2012 apocalypse. Cult followers believe aliens reside inside the mountain and will spare any humans that decide to leave the planet with them in the coming apocalypse. In 2011, the number of visitors doubled to over 20,000 and France's cult watchdog, Miviludes, placed the village under scrutiny due to concern over possible mass suicides. The mayor even considered calling the army over concerns caused by this issue.

At 1,320m, the peak of Mount Bugarach looms over the nearby village. It sits alone, not part of a range. Known as the "upside down mountain", it is a geological oddity whereby the lower layers of rock are mysteriously younger than those at the top. It is also host to a number of incredible caves where people report hearing strange sounds. Mysterious lights have also been seen sparking locals to believe the location is a hotbed for UFO activity.

The Cathar Way Hiking Trail, FranceThe Cathar WayLocation: Occitanie Starting/finishing point: Start near Toulouse, finish near Port-la-Nouvelle Recommended time needed: 2 weeks Difficulty: Moderate This well-marked but never too busy trail begins in Foix, south of Toulouse, and traverses the ancient and mystical land of Occitanie to bring the walker to the sea at Port-la-Nouvelle. What better way to revive weary feet than a dip in the Med? Landscapes vary considerably as the lush forests and mountain meadows of the first half of the walk give way to more arid and rocky terrain, and finally to the briny breezy plains of the littoral. It is a route steeped in both history and legend. The Cathars were brutally persecuted for their beliefs in Medieval times and fled to hilltop castles. Of these, three stand out: Montsegur, Peyrepetuse and Queribus, impossibly perched on dizzying precipices, and commanding stunning views over the local area and towards the high tops of the Pyrenees. As if that’s not enough, there are also rumours that the Holy Grail may have ended up in this part of the world, and anyone who has read the Da Vinci Code will spot some familiar places en route. More recently in 2012, the prominent and spectacular Pic de Bugarach became central to an ‘end of the world’ event as thousands of people headed for the mountains’ slopes believing that an alien spaceship was going to save them! Make sure to check out some of the local markets along the way too. Esperaza on a Sunday morning in particular is a special experience, full of life, music and characters. It is also full of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free delights to feed a hungry hiker. And of course, as you approach the Mediterranean you enter the Corbieres, famous for its rich, herb scented wines. Overall the walk is of moderate difficulty and is suitable for all times of year, though bear in mind that it can get very hot in summer, and also surprisingly cold in the winter (especially at night). Both ends of the trail are accessible by main-line train, and there are a number of international airports nearby including Carcassonne and Beziers.

Ce documentaire montre comment un village des Pyrénées françaises est devenu un refuge pour adeptes de la théorie de la fin des temps. Bugarach était un village tranquille dans le sud de la France, du moins jusqu'à ce que les médias rapportent que c'était le seul endroit au monde où l'on pourrait survivre à la fin du monde, annoncée par le calendrier maya et prévue pour le 21 décembre 2012. Dès lors, les premiers visiteurs étranges apparaissent et les villageois craignent d'être envahis. Jean-Pierre Delord, le maire, tente de garder la situation sous contrôle, mais la tempête médiatique qu'il a lui-même déclenchée le dépasse. Le film suit des personnes très différentes dans leurs préparatifs pour le Jour du Jugement Dernier. Les villageois, ceux qui viennent par curiosité ou encore ceux qui cherchent leur salut au pic de Bugarach forment un monde étrange et tragi-comique qui se déploie sous nos yeux.

Apocalypse enthusiasts await the end of the world in 2012. Jean Philippe Arles/Reuters
Thankfully, no conspiracy theories or predictions about how and when the world would end have proven true so far, though many have caught our attention worldwide. But many people still find doomsday predictions intriguing, even if they don't really believe that a hidden alien planet is going to crash into Earth and herald the apocaplyse. Here are seven times that theories about the world ending became the subject of public fascination and pop culture.
(...)
People thought the world would end when the Mayan calendar "ended" on December 21, 2012. People believed the village of Bugarach in France would survive the 2012 apocalypse. Patrick Aventurier/Stringer/Getty Images A 2012 Reuters poll found that 10% of people worldwide thought that the Mayan calendar could predict the end of the world, and 10% of people reported feeling anxious that the world might actually end on December 21, 2012. The popular theory stemmed from the fact that the Mayan calendar supposedly ended on that date after 5,125 years. According to legend, the village of Bugarach in France would be the only place on Earth that would be spared. A disaster movie called " 2012" was released in 2009 starring John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor, further advancing the theory. Scientists were quick to debunk the doomsday prediction. " The whole thing was a misconception from the very beginning," Dr. John Carlson, director of NASA's Center for Archaeoastronomy, said according to an article posted on NASA Science. "The Maya calendar did not end on December 21, 2012, and there were no Maya prophecies foretelling the end of the world on that date."
