After the rejection of a request, administrative closure for a period of six months was decided against Caveau 30, a Cannes restaurant. An explosion of an ethanol lamp took place on the terrace of the establishment in November.
Le Caveau 30, a restaurant located in Cannes, will close its doors for six months after a decision rendered by the administrative court of Nice, this Thursday, January 23. The order from the prefect of Alpes-Maritimes was issued on December 6.
A request was issued on January 6, 2025 by the company operating the establishment. The judge of the Nice court rejected it, considering that there is no “serious doubt about the legality of this decision”.
Five people were injured, three of them seriously, last November after the explosion of an ethanol lamp on the terrace of the establishment. A complaint had been filed against the city and the restaurateur, the victims’ lawyer told BFM Côte d’Azur.
-“A flashback”
The victims’ lawyer clarified how the events unfolded, explaining that the victims were part of a group of around fifteen Italians, “collaborators, employees and customers”, who came to eat at the restaurant after a conference and settled in a table where there were five ethanol lamps. After the orders were placed, diners noticed that “two of the lamps began to have a dwindling flame.”
A waiter then “went out onto the terrace with a bottle filled with a liquid, one of the heating lamps was completely off, he put the liquid directly on the heating lamp, which came back on, unfortunately the other lamp still had a flame and he poured the liquid directly into the lamp with the flame”, which resulted in “a flashback which went to the bottle filled with this liquid and the waiter, in a sudden gesture, sprinkled the liquid inflamed on five of the 15 guests.
