A potentially lucrative treasure hunt is being offered to the public, though to crack the entire thing you'll need to know French—or at least partner with somebody who.
Buried gold, crystal keys and a book that leads you to the spot where it s buried.
It might sound like the plot of a Hollywood adventure film, but this is a real life quest that s poised to capture the imaginations of would-be treasure hunters everywhere.
The Golden Treasure of the Entente Cordiale, released today in the UK, is part history book, part encrypted treasure map, which promises to lead readers to a £650,000 golden casket if they can solve nine puzzles.
A sister book, written in French, has nine separate clues that also need to be solved.
Each book leads to a piece of crystal - one in the UK, one in France - that together can be used to unlock the final resting place of the golden casket.
