The Cannes jewel heist was an armed robbery at the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel[1] in Cannes, a city on the French Riviera.[2] The thief stole gemstones and watches ultimately valued at $136 million (€103 million/£89 million).[3] (Initial estimates had only reached $53 million (€37–38 million/£33-34 million), as they had not taken into account another room in the hotel).[3]
