Interesting facts

Mystère au Louvre is a 2017 French TV film, fourth in the Mystère à... series of television films set in the Paris of the Belle Époque. It concerns a fictional robbery at the Louvre museum in the 1880s. It was written by Elsa Marpeau and Florent Meyer and directed by Léa Fazer, and stars Alice Taglioni, Philippe Torreton and Cyril Descours. The heroine is "both a manipulator and manipulated, a thief, disguised as a young man, a woman of the world, fragile and strong".

Production

Alice Taglioni had already appeared in two of Fazer's films, Notre univers impitoyable (2008), and Cookie (2012). The film was a co-production of Production AKCB, France Télévisions Distribution, Noon, and Thalie Images. This was the third of four Mystère à... telefilms directed by Fazer.

According to the final credits some filming took place at the Musée du Louvre itself, as well as the Château de Fontainebleau, and the Domaine de Courson.

The original music for the film is by composer François Castello, who also wrote the soundtracks for Mystère au Moulin Rouge (2011) and Mystère à la Tour Eiffel (2015). The soundtrack includes the recording of the tenor air "Je crois entendre encore" sung by Alain Vanzo with the Orchestre Radio-Lyrique conducted by Manuel Rosenthal, in 1959.
