The world-famous museum reopened its doors to visitors on Wednesday, three days after the museum was closed due to the theft of valuable royal jewelry, reported an AFP journalist.
From 9:00, the museum's regular opening time, the first visitors began to arrive. But the Louvre announced that the Apollo gallery, where the theft occurred, is still closed.
It was on Sunday that the four thieves struck, shortly after the museum in Paris had opened.
In just a few minutes, they broke in and disappeared with, among other things, a tiara, an earring and a necklace that once belonged to Maria Amalia, the last queen of France. The latter is decorated with eight sapphires and 631 diamonds, Le Monde has reported.
Both Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin and President Emmanuel Macron promise that the thieves will be caught. So far, however, no one has been arrested.
On Wednesday, museum director Laurence des Cars will answer questions in the senate regarding the coup.
