Unexpected €10 million legacy enriches tiny French town with no ties to benefactor

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Roger Thiberville, who died at 91, never visited the town of Thiberville, France, yet left it his **€10 million fortune**.
  • The town’s mayor, Guy Paris, expressed **delight** at the unexpected windfall, which is five times their annual budget.
  • Plans are underway to use the funds **prudently**, possibly to pay off a **€400,000 bank loan** for a new school.
  • Thiberville’s only connection to the town was his **name**; he lived humbly in Paris and wished for his ashes to be memorialized there.
  • Local projects being considered include a **public garden**, **school renovations**, and a **synthetic football pitch**.
