French town with aliens will survive the Mayan apocalypse

If you want to survive the impending apocalypse forecasted by the Mayans (only 17 shopping days ‘til Doomsday, Dec. 21), head to the village where aliens will emerge from a spaceship hidden inside a mountain to take anyone in the vicinity to safety. That would be Bugarach, France, a farming village (population 176) tucked into the foothills of Pyrenees, whose namesake mountain, Pic de Bugarach, apparently houses life-saving extraterrestrials. Locals are profiting from the prophecy, shilling apocalypse merch to the swarms of tourists and UFO-loving crazies visiting the town, selling the likes of “authentic Bugarach stones” and local spring water that cures what ails ya, as well as jacked-up rates for lodging.
