A major power cut across southern France left around 160,000 homes without electricity on Saturday and impacted the town of Cannes, which is currently hosting its annual international film festival.

A power cut was reported in the southern French city of France on Sunday, one day after an outage disrupted the nearby Cannes Film Festival. Almost 45,000 households in Nice were affected on Sunday morning due to a fire at a power station,

An arson attack and damage to a transmission tower cut off power in the area, the authorities said. The festival’s closing ceremony on Saturday is scheduled to proceed normally.
