REUTERSThe Count of Paris, whose great-grandmother once wore the sapphire tiara stolen from the Louvre Museum, has pleaded with the robbers to return the stolen jewels intact for the sake of France's heritage - and for his family. "Give us back our jewels, there's still time," said Jean d'Orleans, a direct descendant of French kings, speaking to Reuters at the royal domain of Dreux, 70 kilometres (43 miles) southwest of Paris. "These jewels were worn on special occasions, family events, sometimes also to create a specific portrait." It was the biggest robbery at the Louvre since the Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911. 'PRICELESS HERITAGE'The count urged the thieves to return the jewels intact.
