Two paintings by impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir, stolen from a museum in southern France and later discovered hidden behind a wall, have sustained slight damage, prosecutors said on Monday.

Thieves last month broke into the museum in the southern town of Cagnes-sur-Mer and escaped with two works by Renoir, abandoning two others as they fled.
