The English will now have to go through French Customs before engaging in battle on French soil, so the invasion will take some time.

Right? That was my first thought - I mean there’s publicly accessible cameras on almost anything you want to see, and a local famous relic doesn’t have one?

To be fair to the village of Rocamadour there’s only 600 residents so they probably have better things to spend their slim municipal tax revenues on than securing a rusty old sword halfway up a cliff, regardless of how many legends are attached to it.

Many news articles are calling it a “replica”, and it is true that it dates back (at most) to the 1700s when a sword, (not necessarily the most recent one that was stolen), was first installed as a tourist attraction, but, like Excalibur, the sword of legend almost never existed in the first place to replicate. Still a dick move to steal it.

And many English-speaking news articles are calling it a “1300 year old sword” – not a model knocked up by a local blacksmith to attract the credulous to the pilgrimage trade.
Yes it is a dick move, but the dick is now the proud possessor of a rusty piece of metal not a mythological sword.

They are now spreading a police sketch of the possible perpetrator.
Quite possibly, another sad case of juvenile delinquency.
