A French teenager who wrote a letter to her late mother in heaven had it returned with a demand for postal costs.

The 13-year-old girl, named only as Anais by Le Journal de Saône-et-Loire, addressed the letter to Paradise Street, Heaven.

Two days later it was returned to her home in Chatillonais with an "unknown at this address" notice and a demand for 1.35 euros as she hadn't put a stamp on the envelope.

Two years after her mother's death, Anais was still inconsolable. She decided to send her a letter to let her mum know how much she loved her.

The French post office has since apologised. A spokesman said there was a village called Ciel, which means heaven in French, but it had no Paradise Street.

...and the bitch stole my envelope.
