Hundreds of tourists were evacuated from the Eiffel Tower following a bomb alert on Friday, a police official told Reuters.
Visitors and staff were cleared from the 324-metre-high iron tower in Paris at around 14:00 hours, but it re-opened two hours later.
The Eiffel Tower sees some 7 million visitors each year and up to 30,000 a day in the peak summer season.
It is regularly subject to bomb scares but these rarely result in full evacuations.
