French President Accepts Louvre Director's Resignation

French President Macron accepted Laurence des Cars' resignation on Feb 24, 2026.
She faced criticism after last year's high-profile jewel theft.
She previously offered resignation to Culture Minister Rachida Dati, which was initially rejected.
Prosecutors linked the theft to DNA from a helmet, with two men in custody and two at large.
Macron called the resignation an act of responsibility for security and modernization.
The Louvre had 8.7 million visitors in 2024, highlighting governance and security challenges.
She was entrusted with a G7 museums cooperation mission.
