A team of thieves broke into the Louvre in the heart of Paris on Sunday and stole "priceless" historical jewellery, said France's interior minister, as the world-renowned museum closed for the day. French authorities later said they recovered one piece of jewellery, which was apparently dropped by the robbers as they made their escape.
French Culture Minister Rachida Dati on Sunday reported a theft at the Louvre in Paris as the world-renowned museum said it was closing for the day.
"A robbery took place this morning at the opening of the Louvre Museum," she wrote on X. The Louvre said it was closing for the day "for exceptional reasons", without providing further details on what had been stolen.
