Guess where this is?

[jms]

That's incorrect I'm afraid. Wrong country

I'll offer one more clue: It is a great mystery where the person who financed this building got his money from.

[jms]

New picture, showing whole village.

[degrub]

Ireland ? looks like gorse in the forground.

[jms]

Not Ireland.

Haven't been able to plaxe it, but it looks so irreal: is it a miniature village? Very vaguely reminiscent of a number of fortified villages like Rue or Gruyères.

[jms]

It's not located in Switzerland.

[jms]

I'll give you guys one more clue: It's located with the Pyrenees to the south and the Cevennes to the northeast. The village (and in particular one person who lived there) is also linked to the story told in one of the worlds most bestselling books over the last years.

OK, I gave it away, should be easy now

[degrub]

and i thought she lived in the UK.

[jms]

and i thought she lived in the UK.

lol, the bestseller is not Harry Potter!

[Jammrock]

My guess is France somewhere, and the book is The DaVinci Code. That makes it Rennes-le-Chateau.

[jms]

That's right. Your turn!

A Google image search for "french village da vinci code" gives the answer. And I thought this was an easy one

[Jammrock]

This should be an easy one. The name of the tree and where it is.

[jms]

The "Sherman" in the Sequoia National Park, California, USA

[jms]

Thats "General Sherman" me thinks.

[Jammrock]

correct
