The perpetrators stayed inside for just 240 seconds and executed their getaway on two motor scooters waiting outside at 09:38 in the morning, before switching to cars.

One taken artifact - an imperial crown - was fallen in the flight but eight other items of precious ornaments - such as a necklace with emeralds and diamonds that was gifted by Napoleon I his second wife, Empress Marie-Louise - were stolen.

Following the event, protective protocols have been strengthened for French heritage sites.
