Synopsis

The amazing story of how the treasures of the Louvre were evacuated to châteaux all over France before the German army entered Paris in June 1940; the heroic roles played by the Director of the Louvre, Jacques Jaujard, and by the curator in the Jeu de Paume, Rose Valland, is true. This is the historical background to my story of hijack,treachery and recovery. Another case for Commissaire Pierre Rousseau and his colleagues.
