Palace of Versailles evacuated after bomb threat

The incident happened at 10.30am this morning.




The Palace of Versailles has been evacuated following a bomb threat.


The popular tourist attraction, just outside Paris, carried out the evacuation at 10.30am this morning.


Palace authorities took to X, formerly Twitter, announcing: 'We are evacuating visitors from the monument and we will reopen as soon as the checks have been carried out,' wrote the Palace of Versailles on X (former Twitter).


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.
