Da Vinci Code Tourism: Provence in May

Source: davincicode-opusdei.com. Posted on 20 May 2006.

I doubt that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival realized that May 17th, the date on which The Da Vinci Code premieres there, is the anniversary of the beatification of Opus Dei's founder, St. Josemaria Escriva - but it's a nice touch.

Barbara Nicolosi has sagely suggested that we all celebrate the day by taking a trip to the movies - to see any film but The Da Vinci Code. As Barbara notes, if you want to vote with your feet, it's not really enough to simply stay home.
