The Eiffel Tower was evacuated early Saturday afternoon after a security alert was raised, Agence France-Presse reported. Bomb disposal teams were dispatched to secure the area.

The Paris monument’s three floors, including its restaurant, were cleared of visitors by around 1:30 p.m. local time.

These types of situations are “rare,” a spokeswoman for Sete, the company that manages the iconic tourist attraction, told AFP. The news was first reported by BFM TV.

Sete and the Paris police didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg News.
