18th-century French chateau razed 'by mistake'

PARIS (AP) — Residents of a sleepy French village in Bordeaux have been left dumbfounded after discovering their local 18th-century chateau was completely bulldozed "by mistake."

The mayor's office in Yvrac said Wednesday that workers who were hired to renovate the grand 13,000-square-meter (140,000-square-foot) manor and raze a small building on the same estate in southwest France mixed them up.

Jacques - "Eh, Patrice, eez zat zee building we were supposed to tear down?"

Patrice - "Uh, Aye zinc so. Eet says here remove big building, raze small building."

Jacques - "Putaine de mèrde, how do wee raze ze building, eef eet will not start running?"
