Arthur, thank you so much for your detailed answer. It's fascinating that the jewels were stored with Evrard Bapst and then in a brick wall in the palace instead of a bank vault or something similar. They way they were kept implies to me that Queen Marie Amelie had decided from the very beginning that she was not going to use the crown jewels. I don't think I would have had her willpower to stay away from all of those beautiful jewels!
