#LouvreHeist News

- The remainder of the crown jewels from the Galerie d'Apollon ― where the 8 stolen pieces were taken ― and other valuable jewels of the museum have been taken to the Banque de France main safe, nicknamed "'La Souterraine".

- A lot, but A LOT of fake news are circulating about the heist. Real news about the chase is scant (hence me smokescreening you with this ↓ )

Unrelated to the heist, the story of la Souterraine, French "Fort Knox", is quite cool : https://unterhist.org/unterhist-blog/2023/10/12/la-souterraine-de-la-banque-de-france/
