Le musée du Louvre et deux célèbres vols

LanguaTalk.com
About this episode

In this episode, Gaelle takes the opportunity of the astonishing robbery in the Louvre museum in October 2025 to talk about the Louvre itself and explore its rich and long life as a royal palace. But because talking about the Louvre without talking about its treasures wouldn’t make sense, you will also hear about 2 thefts that happened a century apart, each time shaking French society.
