In a troubling trend for French cultural institutions, approximately 2,000 gold and silver coins were stolen from the Maison des Lumières in Landres, valued at around €90,000. This theft occurred just hours after a significant robbery at the Louvre, where a gang disguised as workers stole €88 million worth of historic jewelry. The recent incidents have sparked alarm regarding the security protocols at museums, with Louvre director Laurence des Cars admitting that many security measures were inadequate. Reports indicate that one in three rooms at the Louvre lacked CCTV coverage, and the alarm system failed to activate during the heist. Additionally, a cyber-attack had disabled security systems at the Natural History Museum in Paris, allowing thieves to exploit vulnerabilities. These events raise serious questions about the protection of France's cultural heritage.
