I am reminded of the scene from “Better off Dead” of the protagonist’s mother’s idea of “Frawnch Cuisine” : Frawnch Fries, Frawnch Dressing and to drink, Peru (Perrier)
The message inside the vial read: “P.J Féret, a native of Dieppe, a member of various intellectual societies, carried out excavations here in January, 1825. He continues his investigations in this vast area known as the City of Limes or Caesar’s Camp.”
The French burned books during the French revolution but others too burned books, the Germans, the Russians, the Puritans and surprise – the Catholic church when it was alleged the Talmud contained blasphemous writings.

Tried googling what’s considered essential items by the French government. Couldn’t find an answer.
But I guess clothes aren’t on that list.

Did that museum get any takers? Were the docents arrested as voyeurs? (Why yes, that is a French word. Why do you ask?)
