When B and B does not receive their scheduled payments for the necklace, and the Queen insists that she never intended to purchase the necklace things got interesting in a hurry. The Cardinal made the arrangements on behalf of the Queen, but gave the necklace to Du Barry to deliver. Madame Du Barry seems to have told the Cardinal she did. Now there seems to be some confusion between the Queen, their mutual “friend” Madame Du Barry, and the Cardinal.
The Cardinal was desperate to get back into her good graces and contacted Bohmer and Bassenge about this astoundingly expensive diamond necklace that they had been unsuccessful in tempting any of the Royal families to buy. It all begins with Marie-Antoinette becoming disenchanted with the lavish, licentious lifestyle of the Cardinal de Rohan-Soubise. The Queen’s Necklace is famous for being worth so much money, but also because of the scandal that surrounded it. ”It was, indeed, the famous necklace, the legendary necklace that Bohmer and Bassenge, court jewelers, had made for Madame Du Barry the veritable necklace that the Cardinal de Rohan-Soubise intended to give to Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France and the same that the adventuress Jeanne de Valois, Countess de la Motte, had pulled to pieces one evening in February, 1785, with the aid of her husband and their accomplice, Rétaux de Villette.”Ī necklace worthy of the very best thief. *****A new series featuring Arsene Lupin has just been released on Netflix.***** Sparkling with amusing banter, these stories-the best of the Lupin series-are outrageous, melodramatic, and literate. A masterful thief, his plans frequently evolve into elaborate capers, a precursor to such cinematic creations as Ocean’s Eleven and The Sting. They are the target of Arsene’s mischief and tomfoolery. The rich and powerful, and the detective who tries to spoil his fun, however, must beware. The poor and innocent have nothing to fear from him often they profit from his spontaneous generosity. The suave adventures of a gentleman rogue-a French Thomas Crown Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsene Lupin is a witty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime.
