French archaeologists have uncovered the well-preserved body of a noblewoman who died 350 years ago - along with the clothes in which she was buried, including her cap and shoes, still intact.
The corpse of Louise de Quengo, a widow from an aristocratic family from Brittany, was discovered in an hermetically sealed lead coffin placed in a stone tomb at a convent chapel in the western city of Rennes.
