For 67 years,
a message from Nazi-occupied France remained hidden in a secret drawer
of a desk that belonged to France's 18th-century King Louis XV.
Restorers at the Chateau of Versailles recently discovered the letter,
written by a World War II-era colleague who last restored the
bronze-coated bureau.
The letter, released Tuesday by the chateau, details restoration work on
the desk during the war. The restorer says he wrote the note after he
finished the work -- just as Paris was being liberated from the Nazis in
August 1944.
The letter was found in one of the desk's many small drawers, which can
be opened only by a complex mechanical system of secret buttons and
locks, considered cutting-edge in its day.
