The Abbey of Orval, in Belgium’s Ardennes Forest, is truly a place of mystery. The name “Orval” means “Valley of Gold”.
Nostradamus was said to have written a number of his prophecies here. Possibly, there were once no less than two treasures hidden in this wonderful place: the Treasure of the Knights Templar and the War Chest of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
"In the spring of 1791, the French King Louis XVI had become a prisoner in his own country. His wife, Marie Antoinette, was begging her brother the Austrian Emperor to help them. Unfortunately for her the messages of her couriers were intercepted and the codes broken. The royalist General de Bouillé turned the fortress town of Montmédy, in the northeast of France, into a safe place for the Royals. In case of an emergency, the Royals could cross the border with the Austrian Netherlands to find refuge in the nearby Abbey of Orval. [...]
The Royal Treasure of the Bourbons, packed in a War Chest was entrusted to Leonard, the royal hairdresser. It was his job to bring the Chest to the Abbey of Orval for safekeeping. What General de Bouillé couldn’t imagine, was that Louis XVI would be arrested in Varennes and that the King of France and his wife Marie Antoinette would lose their heads to the axe of the guillotine. While King and Queen never made it as far as Orval, the royal hairdresser did. Together with Leonard, the Bourbon Royal Treasure was hidden never to resurface again."

"Some years a go Rudy Cambier, a retired Belgian professor published his book Nostradamus and the Lost Templar Legacy. In his book he claimed that the French language used by Nostradamus was in fact 14th century Picard the dialect spoken in a region of Flanders between the Dendre and the Escaut. Reading the Centuries the way they had really been intended, they turned out to have been written by a Cistercian monk by name of Yves de Lessines. He was the Prior of the Cistercian Abbey of Cambron, the place where the Knights Templar deposited certain documents regarding their secrets and their treasure at the time of their suppression. De Lessines, not wanting to take the secret into his grave, penned the story down in dark verses, describing the location of the Templar Treasure. Cambier located the spot described in the quatrains. Groundscans have demonstrated that some barrels appear to be buried in the exact location but since the Belgian authorities deny permission, an excavation hasn’t taken place to this day.
Even though an army of researchers has been looking for them for centuries, to this day no original edition of Nostradamus’ prophecies was ever found. Cambuur concludes Nostradamus simply destroyed the original manuscripts of the Centuries. It was obvious to him why Nostradamus did this: to destroy the evidence of his plagiarism.
In his book The Secret of Nostradamus (1927) occultist P.V. Piobb stated that the prophecies of Nostradamus had actually been written by the Templars. The true nature of the Quatrains was that of instructions, given to future individuals. The Centuries were, in other words, a coded manual.
 There are certainly a bunch of quatrains speaking of a Temple and a Treasure. In Q1, C5 we hear about a celtic ruin and two people who argue in the Temple – the great one, mounted on a steed, is murdered and buried without making noises. Q7, C9 tells us of a curse, or a booby trap: evil will come to the person who opens the tomb. Q81, C11 speaks of a treasure in the secret place of a Temple and Q9, C6 says that in Sacred Temples scandals will be perpetrated, but they will be seen as honours. In Q13, C10 soldiers are hidden – their arms are making noises – beneath the food of ruminating animals (hay, for example). The animals lead the soldiers to a subterranean place or a city with a name that has “grass”, “herb” or “weed” in it.
On Friday 13 October 1307, immediately after the arrests of the Templars in their Paris headquarters, the agents of the French King discovered that the Templar treasure had vanished and so had almost the entire Templar fleet. A Templar sergeant confessed that the Order was tipped off about the arrests. A small group of knights had managed to sneak the treasure out of Paris in three carts covered with hay. They fled to La Rochelle, a port on the Atlantic coast, destination unknown."
