Château de Chantilly

We begin with a story that sounds a little more like a movie than real life.

This October, one of France's rarest gemstones will go on public display for the first time in 100 years at the Chateau de Chantilly near Paris.

And the reason it's there today starts with a hungry chambermaid, a stolen apple, and one very painful bite.

Suzanne Schiltz was making her rounds at a hotel in December 1926 when she swiped an apple from a guest's suitcase she bit into it and nearly shattered her teeth hidden inside was a pink gemstone the size of a lima bean the grand conde diamond two months earlier a pair of amateur thieves had pulled off what looked like a professional heist using little more than tall ladders to steal the 9.01 carat diamond and more than 75 pieces of jewelry from the Chateau's museum.
