The Eiffel Tower was evacuated for several hours on Wednesday after police received a call suggesting a bomb had been placed there.
The Paris monument had been searched and no explosives found, a police spokeswoman said. It reopened at about 2.25 p.m. (1225 GMT).

"It was an orderly evacuation, there was no panic," said Manuel, a tour guide on site when the evacuation order was given.
