Passengers were this morning forced to flee Nice airport after a suspicious package was discovered in terminal buildings.
The abandoned bag was found near an Air France boarding area sparking an evacuation, local newspaper Nice Matin reported.
Two further "suspicious" packages wer found earlier elsewhere in the same Terminal 2 building.
Police cordoned off large parts of the airport while checks were carried out, but the airport has since fully reopened.
The discovery comes as France remains on high alert following a terrorist atrocity in the Cote D-Azur city last month.
Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel killed 84 people when he drove a truck into crowd gathered on the Promenade des Anglais for Bastille Day celebrations on July 14.
