About this reported the RTL.
It is noted that the transfer of valuables took place under enhanced security measures. They were transported from the museum galleries to the Bank of France vault, located 300 meters away, under a reinforced motorized police escort.
It is not clear what jewels were moved. They will be stored in an underground vault 26 meters deep, which also houses 90% of France’s gold reserves. The same vaults have been home to Leonardo da Vinci’s priceless notebooks, valued at more than 600 million euros, for several years.
