Robert Langdon of Da Vinci being followed !

Ever since I read Da Vinci code, had be curious about the Church of St Sulpice. Dan Brown has blended the fiction to reality so nicely that you become inquisitive once you get into the book . Such curiosity (of people like me!!) has increased the tourist traffic in Paris’ Church but to the displeasure of church authorities. They regret as the church has many attractions but people are attracted to bronze candlestick where a nun was killed in the great conspiracy novel. Officials annoyed by the distortion of history have put a notice saying “Contrary to the fanciful allegations in a recent best-selling novel, this is not the vestige of a pagan temple”.

Other place being attracted is the Louvre where the novel opens dramatically. This tourist traffic has encouraged operators to launch the Da Vinci mystery tour taking in the book’s prime location - to Gare St Lazare, the Ritz, the US Embassy and the Louvre.

Most of the Da Vinci Code tourists are American, and many believe that the book's popularity is partly responsible for the return of US tourists after the Iraq-related boycott.
