Authorities were racing Monday to reassure the public about security at key cultural sites — and find the jewels stolen from the museum before they can be broken up and melted down.

PARIS (AP) — The Louvre reopened on Wednesday to long lines beneath its landmark Paris glass pyramid, just three days after one of the highest-profile museum thefts of the century stunned the world for its audacity and scale.

Former president Nicolas Sarkozy's lawyers say, as he shows up to a Paris prison to serve a five-year sentence, that they've already appealed for his release.

A rare tornado near Paris blew through several towns north of the capital of France, toppling cranes and killing one person.

As floods become increasingly frequent across France and the risk to the capital grows, the Paris City Hall conducted a large-scale “real-life” simulation of a Seine River flood on Monday, October 13.

The Louvre museum was hit by a brazen daytime jewel heist, forcing the Paris institution to close its doors for a second day in a row.

The Paris premiere marked a continuation of the global rollout for “All’s Fair,” following earlier events in Los Angeles and London. Kardashian stars as Allura Grant, a high-profile divorce lawyer leading an all-female law firm. Other members of the cast also brought dramatic fashion to the event, including her mom, Kris Jenner.
