Seix not Saix: French letter arrives 220 years late

 2010-04-16 14:35

TOULOUSE, April 15 (AFP) - A letter mistakenly sent in 1790 to the French village of Saix instead of another town called Seix will soon be delivered to its proper destination, officials said Thursday.

The letter was discovered 10 years ago when Saix's municipal archives were being sorted out, but it was put aside and again forgotten about until recently when Mayor Henri Blanc decided it should finally be delivered.

The letter was from authorities in Paris informing the municipality that its request to make Seix the chief town of their area was being refused.

Blanc said that on June 5 local officials from Saix will drive 200 kilometres (124 miles) across southern France to formally deliver the letter to their counterparts in Seix.
