Notre Dame cathedral has caught fire, according to the Parisian fire service and eyewitnesses.
A major operation was underway, the fire department added, while a city hall spokesman said on Twitter that the area was being cleared.
Officials in Paris said the fire could be linked to renovation works being carried out at the cathedral.
It comes after France’s Saint Sulpice church , used in the filming of Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ thriller, caught fire in March.
Firefighters were able to bring that fire under control and no one was hurt.
