In 1730 a fifteen-year-old Huguenot girl was arrested and taken from her home in Bouchet-de-Pransles. Her name was Marie Durand; her crime was to have a brother who was a Protestant minister; they held Protestant meetings in their home. Pierre Durand was known as the "Pastor of the Desert". She was held in the tour of Constance at Aigue Mortes and wrote in stone the word: Register in latin which means "resist". see http://chi.gospelcom.net/DAILYF/2002/12/daily-12-26-2002.shtml
