France is experiencing a heightened terror alert level with the Louvre museum similarly forced to evacuate last week
The Palace of Versailles evacuated for a second time due to security concerns amid a rise in terrorist threats.
The palace, one of France's most lucrative tourist attractions, evacuated visitors on Tuesday for "security reasons" – the second incident in four days.
"For security reasons, the Palace of Versailles is evacuating visitors and closing its doors today Tuesday October 17. Thank you for your understanding," the museum wrote on social media.

It happened outside a school in the city of Arras, about 115 miles north of Paris, near the border with Belgium, and a suspect is in custody, according to France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.
Darmanin ordered Thursday a country-wide ban on demonstrations in support of the Palestinians.
Terrorist threats have been made against prominent tourist destinations since the incident.
