Tourists were locked inside the Eiffel Tower and the Eurostar evacuated amid a Paris terror alert which saw one man arrested this evening.
People took to social media to share images of the 324-metre-high tourist attraction shut off and surrounded by police.
One person has been arrested. Initial reports said the person was carrying a weapon, with some social media users mentioning both a "gun" and a "knife", but police say these reports are unfounded.
French police said they arrested an unarmed man near the Eiffel Tower on Friday night.
A cordon surrounded the area as officers stopped people from getting close to the landmark.
