The iconic Parisian landmark, the Eiffel Tower, has been evacuated following a bomb threat.
The monument was cleared as a precautionary measure after a threatening message suggested the presence of an explosive device.
Mine-clearing experts have been dispatched to the site, prompting the closure of the Eiffel Tower to visitors.
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), a security alert on Saturday prompted the evacuation of three floors of the Eiffel Tower in central Paris.
The tower stands as one of France's most renowned tourist attractions, drawing 6.2 million visitors last year.
The organization responsible for managing the tower has stated that bomb disposal experts and law enforcement are conducting thorough inspections of the premises, including a restaurant situated on one of the floors.
