I read this last night and said to make partner, "OMG some French man inherited a house and found 100kg of gold hidden!" - She looked at me and nodded replying woww  unenthusiastically.

 

"THATS 3 million pound"

It has already been sold on to buyers in France and overseas.

However, local newspaper La Depeche, which first reported the story, said the golden hello may come with a sting.

The finder will be liable for 45% inheritance tax and, if the original owner did not declare his or her assets, a further three years of back taxes.

The French tax anything that doesn't move, or moves for that matter. The finder will end up owing the Government money:D

Again, this is France, and an older person, eccentric too, probably, hence the story:D
