Looped perimeter and floating moment between two projections. A suspicious package discovered around 13:30 p.m. this Friday near the twenty-four red steps of the Cannes Film Festival required a police intervention. The alert was lifted half an hour later, after all the necessary checks.

It was in fact a "luggage forgotten by a tourist," said Philippe Loos, the secretary general of the prefecture of Alpes-Maritimes to AFP. The suitcase was found abandoned in front of the tourist office located between the accesses of the two largest projection rooms of the Croisette convention center. The intervention of the police ended at 14 p.m. and the security perimeter was lifted.
