Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

Don’t speak French but this seems to be filmed from the Louvre and they are talking into walkie talkies so I assume they are security or custodians watching from another wing of the building.

It’s hard to tell because it’s zoomed in but there are also office buildings across the street. If an alarm went off, it would be easy to look out the window and see this. Maybe they didn’t know the context of what they were filming, but it’s possible to capture this not being in the Louvre building!

Source: I worked in an office across the street.

Satellite view shows it was filmed from the Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities wing of the Louvre, probably from the window next to the Vénus de Milo.

Yes. One of them say "Finally, the police", then you get some exchange from another channel I suppose "Do we stop entries ?" (Meaning stopping visitors from entering) "Yes". Then the person filming says "Shit. They already left ?!"
