The Crown Jewels of France refer to a collection of royal regalia and precious items that symbolize the monarchy's power and heritage. These jewels include crowns, scepters, and orbs, many of which were used during coronation ceremonies. The collection has a rich history, with pieces dating back to the medieval period and others created for specific monarchs, such as Louis XIV. After the fall of the monarchy, many of the Crown Jewels were confiscated during the French Revolution. Some items were sold or melted down, while others were preserved in museums. Today, the remaining pieces are housed in the Louvre Museum, showcasing France's royal history and artistry.
