After a bomb alarm, the evacuation of the Palace of Versailles near Paris is underway. According to our findings, the warning came with an anonymous message on the police website. As was the case with the Louvre Museum this morning, the Palace of Versailles will not reopen today following the threat.

The Louvre Museum, the most visited museum in the world, is closed for security reasons related to the terror alert that has risen to the highest level in France since yesterday.

“For security reasons, the Louvre Museum is closing its doors today. People who have booked a visit for today will receive their money back,” the museum said in a statement on X.
