We visited Le Musée du Désert and learned about the "desert period" when the Protestants wanted religious liberty and it was denied them. We saw the Bibles that families kept in secret- even tiny ones that women would hide in their hair. The museum is in the house of one of the Protestants from the 1600s. We toured it and saw where the pastors hid from the king's soldiers.
Afterwards, we climbed to the cave where the Protestants worshipped. It was a strenous hike - really more like rock climbing. How did they do it in their wooden clogs and carrying their children?? Once at the cave, we sang and worshipped together. The accoustics underground were great!
