A search is under way for the thieves who stole several paintings from a museum dedicated to the French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir in the south of France in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
"This morning, two individuals broke into the Renoir Museum and stole four works of art," Bryan Masson, the far-right mayor of the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, on the French Riviera, said.
