This is the second warning this Saturday in France, after the Louvre Museum was also closed following threats.
The Vigipirate anti-terrorist alert was raised to the highest level and as of Monday up to 7,000 soldiers from Operation Sentinelle were deployed throughout France following the knife attack that left one dead and three injured in Arras this Friday.
A teacher was killed and three people were injured at a secondary school in Arras by a 20-year-old Russian-Chechen youth in an Islamist attack this Friday.
