Louvre, Versailles evacuated for security reasons

The Louvre Museum in Paris and the Palace of Versailles temporarily closed their doors to visitors amid France's elevated state of security.

This closure was prompted by a stabbing attack in Arras, where a teacher was killed and three others injured.

According to Agence France-Presse, the museum will remain shut until it conducts necessary security checks after being warned of potential risks. Versailles' closure, however, came after the palace received bomb threats, AFP reported, citing sources.
