As the prestigious Cannes Film Festival was in full swing, an unexpected event caused quite a stir at the entrance to the Palais. A bomb scare had been reported, leading to a temporary shutdown of the entrance. The festival staff had come across a suspicious item on Saturday afternoon, causing concern among the attendees.
In response, the street outside the Palais was immediately closed off by police officers, preventing anyone from crossing in either direction. As a team of specialized officers inspected the unclaimed rucksack at the center of the crosswalk, the press terrace facing the scenic Croisette was also shut down. Although the Palais and its surrounding area were not evacuated, restrictions were put in place and the public was unable to queue directly in front of the building. Those who were already in line were allowed to remain next to a police post for their safety.
After thorough investigation and assurance from the officers that the area was safe, the street and the entrance to the Palais were finally reopened at 3:10 PM local time. Thankfully, the bomb scare turned out to be a false alarm and the festival was able to resume without any further disruptions.
