The Grottos of Barigoule

by Frank Frost

Overview

In April of 1545, a horrific massacre of more than 3,000 "heretics" in southern France occurred. In one small village, twenty-five women and children hid in a secret grotto in the hills above town. But they were betrayed. Royal and papal troops built a fire in the mouth of the grotto and murdered them all by suffocation. So much is an established historical fact.
