Louvre president hands in resignation to Macron: Elysee

The head of France's world-famous Louvre museum resigned on Tuesday, the office of the French presidency announced, following a months-long string of scandals -- including a brazen jewel heist.

Laurence des Cars submitted her resignation letter to President Emmanuel Macron, which was accepted, with the Elysee "hailing an act of responsibility at a time when the world's largest museum needs appeasement and a new strong impetus to carry out major security projects."
