CROWN JEWELS
A small part of the crown jewels are on display in the Louvre. The vast bulk of them was auctioned by the French government (Third Republic)in 1887.
The jewels the the late Countess of Paris often wore belonged to the late Count of Paris and a few years before his dead he sold some to the Louve. (The so called "Saphire parure of Marie Antoinette").
The other saphire parure was auctioned by him after a hard dispute with his family. He left literally nothing from the enormous wealth he inherited from his ancestors!
