Two Auguste Renoir paintings stolen last month from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer on France's Riviera have been recovered, the town hall said. Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano and Jeune fille au puits were taken when thieves cut a fence and smashed a window. Six suspects have been arrested. Mayor Bryan Masson said the works form part of the city's cultural heritage and local history.
