French Affair

Fun French Facts

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.

However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and make such an obvious error, he replied:

French Typists

"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.

King Louis XIV's Handkerchiefs

to buy Degas

Eleanor of Aquitaine

to make the Van Gogh."

Grande Galerie de Louvre
