The most shrewd should theoretically fold the case in a few months. And go and dig up somewhere in mainland France the bronze copy of the famous Golden Owl to pocket the million francs at stake. But on April 23, 2023, thirty years will have passed since Max Valentin, the late he inventor of this insoluble treasure hunt has hidden his treasure. At the time, the community of “chouetteurs” exchanged its theories on Minitel, which is to say if the quest lasts. Generations have succeeded one another wearing out their eyes on the eleven illustrated enigmas of the book In the footsteps of the Golden Owltracing the roads with double decimeter or compass on an old Michelin map, and looking for clues hidden in the big picture to refine the perimeter.
The Golden Owl remains so elusive that it has even fueled the legal chronicle for inheritance disputes. But it is still waiting for its discoverer and still brings together families and groups of enthusiasts. So, if you’ve been an owl, for thirty years or recently, tell us about this funny adventure.
