Mansion unlocked after 100 years
A mansion house in central France that was kept locked up for 100 years has just been opened to the public, in accordance with its owner's last wishes.
Louis Mantin, a wealthy gentleman from the town of Moulins, stipulated in his will that his house should be turned into a museum a century after his death.
Assistant curator Maud Leyoudec showed the BBC's cameras around the house.
