The enigma of the golden owl occupied the days of Léa. “There are people who have been there”she said. She has been “nice” for two years. “She was right there, under my feet! It’s crazy!”. Then she shows us, “The rock, it is more or less towards there … And as it said in the film yesterday, with the trees we see it much less. It is about seven meters. It was there and we walked on it very often”.

Understanding the replica, a sculpture of ten kilos in precious metals, made it possible to win the famous “owl”. “Once the film explains where it is, once you have the answers, necessarily, it’s easy.” Its value had been initially estimated at a million francs, around 150,000 euros. She is today estimated between 250 and 300,000 euros.

From now on “We are ready to welcome the adventurers of this owl 2”adds Éric Weber.
