A trouvaille is a lucky find that's especially satisfying. Imagine checking out a flea market table piled high with mundane odds and ends, and suddenly you notice an original pressing of your favorite record just sitting there in plain sight. A trouvaille like that is something you didn't come looking for but are very glad you found.
Example: The four-leaf clover tucked inside the dusty old book was a delightful trouvaille.
