The Louvre Museum in Paris has reopened three days after jewellery worth 88 million euros (£76m; $102m) was stolen in a brazen daylight robbery.

Visitors were welcomed back to the Louvre from 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Wednesday, but the museum said its Apollo Gallery - where the heist took place - remained closed.

Thieves wielding power tools took less than eight minutes to break into the world's most-visited museum and make off with the loot on scooters on Sunday morning. They have not yet been caught.

President Emmanuel Macron urged ministers to speed up the introduction of security measures at the Louvre as it reopened, a government spokeswoman said.
