In a tense turn of events, the iconic Eiffel Tower was evacuated for nearly two hours on Saturday after a bomb threat triggered a swift response from police bomb disposal experts. The incident, which unfolded under the watchful eyes of Paris police and the monument’s operating company, Sete, left the city on high alert.

At the heart of the ordeal was a meticulous response by law enforcement, with the bomb squad and police units arriving promptly on the scene. A spokeswoman from Sete emphasised that while such procedures are uncommon, they are enacted as a standard protocol in situations of this nature.
