French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday accepted the resignation of the head of Paris's Louvre Museum, which has been grappling with the fallout from a high-profile jewel heist and rolling strikes, APA reports citing CBS NEWS.
Laurence des Cars tendered her resignation, which Macron accepted, "praising an act of responsibility at a time when the world's largest museum needs calm and a strong new impetus to successfully carry out major projects involving security, and modernization," his office said.
The Louvre has been roiled by a robbery in October, when four burglars made off with jewels worth about 87 million euros (about $140 million Cdn) in about eight minutes.
