During the last fifteen years I took over 20.000 pictures. Of Rennes-le-Château and the area surrounding this hilltop village. Of other places in France, the Second Holy Country, places where Mary Magdalene is still "present". And where the Black Virgins are still venerated.

For more then fifteen years I have been in the area of Rennes-le-Château. I was first attracted to this magic place by the book: "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" written by Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln. From the moment I set foot in Rennes-le-Château the place "ran in my blood". It was like a homecoming. Five to six times a year I travelled from Holland to the south of France. 

Jaap explains in the book the Beauty and Message of Orbs, how the Orbs behave like intelligent beings, approving of us, helping us, showing their playful sense of humour, loving our children, our animals, families, parties, and our green way of life.  The Orbs love sacred places, churches, mountains, and natural water sources, springing out of the ground.  They come all times of day and night, in all weathers.  They carry messages that Jaap tells us how to interpret. Also available on Amazon as Paperback.

Guiding people to the hilltop village of Rennes-le-Château. In the foothills of the French Pyrenees. The village of the famous ‘Million dollar priest” Berenger Sauniere. The village full of magic and mysteries. Located in the middle of a region that is a true treasure map. The secrets of this village gave rise to bestsellers as “the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” and “the Da Vinci Code.” And more than 600 other books. Including three of mine. Rennes-le-Château has become a real pilgrim site.
