BBC News - 350 fake Faberge eggs seized in Paris

As we remember, Faberge eggs were the gifts that the Russian Royal family gave each other on special occasions like Christmas.

More than 350 fake Faberge eggs are set to be destroyed after they were seized by customs at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

Authorities found the eggs in two parcels that were heading to be sold at the Christmas market in the city.

The original, authentic Faberge eggs were made for Russia's imperial family in the 19th and early 20th Century.
