Cache of shells discovered by workers at a site about 1km from Nice Côte d'Azur airport

World War Two shells found at a work site near Nice Côte d'Azur airport are due to be removed overnight on Wednesday.
The explosives were discovered on land just off the busy Route de Grenoble between Avenue Edouard Grinda and Boulevard Paul Montel, about a kilometre from the busy regional airport.
The area between Edouard Grinda and Paul Montel, as well as Avenue Yvonne Viton and rue Cité Jardin will be closed off to traffic and pedestrians between 11pm on Wednesday and 5.30am on Thursday to allow bomb disposal experts to safely remove the shells, the préfecture of the Alpes-Maritimes said.
This latest World War Two munitions in Nice comes months after a section the Promenade des Anglais was closed when a 250kg US bomb was discovered submerged 50m off the coast in May.
Just a month earlier, workers in Saint-Laurent-du-Var uncovered unexploded devices dating back to World War I.
