A terror probe has been launched after an explosion injured seven people in France.
The victims, including an eight-year-old girl, are said to have injuries to their legs which are not life-threatening, according to reports.
The cause of the blast in Lyon was not immediately known but French President Emmanuel Macron called it an "attack" during a live interview.
Meanwhile, the Paris counter-terrorism prosecutor has opened an investigation into the blast.
Kamel Amerouche, the regional authority's communications chief, said the explosion occurred in or outside a store of the bakery chain Brioche Doree.
The area had been cordoned off by police and television images of the street showed the Brioche Doree sign intact while police vans and an ambulance attended the scene.
There have been unconfirmed reports the blast was caused by a parcel bomb, while some have suggested it was a nail bomb.
The central area in Lyon, the Presqu'ile, lies between the Rhone and Saone rivers that run through France's third-largest city.
Earlier, French officials said eight people were wounded, but later lowered the figure to seven.
President Macron confirmed there were no fatalities and sent his thoughts "to the injured and their families."
