The Palace of Versailles has been evacuated following a bomb threat, APA reports citing Euro News.
The popular tourist attraction, just outside Paris, carried out the evacuation at 10.30am this morning.
Palace authorities took to X, formerly Twitter, announcing: 'For security reasons, the Palace of Versailles is evacuating visitors and will reopen as soon as the checks have been completed. Thank you for your understanding'.
It is not the first time the historic building has been targeted with a bomb threat.
On eight day in October, the building was evacuated seven times after bomb threats which turned out to be false.
