The students of the Pasteur high school in Avignon (Vaucluse) were evacuated from the establishment at the end of the morning on Monday.
In question, the emergency procedure applied in the event of a bomb threat.
The management had indeed received an anonymous email evoking explosives deposited on the spot, says France Bleu Vaucluse.
Demining specialists from Hérault and Bouches-du-Rhône were dispatched to the scene.
The experts, accompanied by three dogs trained to detect explosives, combed through the classrooms, hallways and boarding school.
They found no bombs in the school.
The alert system, which also led to the establishment of a security perimeter around the establishment, was lifted in the early evening, reports

The police had also advised the population to avoid going around the school.
An investigation has been launched to try to identify the author of the threatening e-mail.
Messages of a similar nature have been sent to many French schools over the past few weeks.
