Nestled in the rolling foothills of the French Pyrenees, market day in the tiny farming community of Bugarach has never been busier.

But shoppers aren't there to sample the fresh meat, wine and dairy for which the town is locally famed, they are there to pick up their own piece of end-of-the-world memorabilia.

It is because Bugarach - population 176 - has been earmarked by doomsday cults as the only place in the world which is going to survive Armageddon, scheduled for December 21 this year by an ancient Mayan prophecy.

The Mayans decided to spare Bugarach?

Apparently so.

I don't get it.
If it's scheduled for 21st December, what's the point of going there now?

And if you survive Armageddon, you still get changed into a heavenly body, following it.
So you won't be needing to carry Earthly souvenirs with you.

You're demanding that these people actually make sense?
