The Palace of Versailles is evacuated again after a new bomb threat

The Palace of Versailles was evacuated again early this Tuesday afternoon after another bomb threat, as a source close to the French public institution told AFP. The venue will remain closed throughout the day.

“For security reasons, the Palace of Versailles is evacuating visitors today and closing its doors,” the establishment announced on its X account (formerly Twitter), where it attached an image that refers to a suspicious package.

The venue was evacuated on Saturday afternoon after a bomb threat came through an anonymous message on the site moncommissariat.fr, while France lives in a state of alarm due to the growing threat of attacks.
