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.
