France's Palace of Versailles outside Paris was being evacuated again on Tuesday and will be closed for the rest of the day after a new bomb threat, a source close to the issue told AFP.

"For security reasons the Palace of Versailles is evacuating visitors and closing today," the establishment added on its official account on X (formerly Twitter). The former French royal residence was already evacuated on Saturday following an anonymous bomb threat.
