Police in France have found two stolen paintings by the famous artist Renoir. They have arrested six people. The paintings were stolen from the Renoir Museum last month. The museum is in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the south of France. The town's mayor says the news makes people very happy. The two paintings are worth millions of dollars.
The thieves came early in the morning on September 8. They cut through a garden fence and climbed in through a window. In under three minutes, they took four paintings. Then an alarm rang, and the police came. The thieves ran away and dropped two paintings in the garden.
It is not clear how the police found the other two paintings. The crime made people remember when thieves stole from the Louvre in Paris last year. Many people want better security at museums in France.
