Around 30 works of art have been stolen from a house in the south of France.
The paintings, which include works by Picasso and Henri Rousseau, are worth a million euros.
The owner of the house on the Côte d’Azur was abroad when the robbery took place.
It is the second art robbery in the south of France in a couple of days. On New Year’s Eve, a painting by impressionist Edgar Degas was taken from a museum in Marseille.
It is not clear whether the two incidents are connected.
