PARIS, Oct 17 — France’s Palace of Versailles is evacuating its visitors for security reasons and will be closed today, the Chateau de Versailles said on social network X.

BFM TV, citing police sources, said a bomb squad was on its way to the site.

On October 14, one day after a teacher was killed in an Islamist attack, bomb alerts - which proved to be false - forced the evacuation of the Louvre museum, the Palace of Versailles and Paris’ Gare de Lyon train station. — Reuters
