France’s “Doomsday Village Bugarach” sees Influx of 2012 Apocalypse Believers

France’s “Doomsday Village Bugarach” sees Influx of 2012 Apocalypse Believers: "The Internet is awash with predictions that the world will come to an end next year, based in part on an interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar which claims that December 21, 2012 marks the end of the current era.

The residents of Bugarach, a small hamlet in southern France, are both shocked and perturbed by the rising influx of doomsday believers who are convinced that their tiny town is the only place that will survive the 2012 judgment day.

Resting in the foothills of the Pyrenees, a region once home to the mysterious heretic sect the Catharas before they were driven underground in the 13th century, Bugarach has inspired countless myths over the years."
