Fortunately, power was restored just hours before the Palme d’Or ceremony. Authorities suspect an arsonist sparked a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes, weakening the electrical grid overnight, according to the French national gendarmerie. A high-voltage line collapse also caused a power loss affecting about 160,000 households.
