		</div><p>The Louvre museum in Paris was evacuating all visitors and staff and closing early on Saturday after it received a written threat.</p>
<p>It said the move was linked to the government’s decision to put France on high alert after a fatal school stabbing by a suspected extremist.</p>
<p>The Louvre communication service said no one has been hurt and no incident has been reported.</p>
<p>Paris police said verifications in the museum are under way.</p>
<p>The former royal palace at Versailles also received bomb threats, a national police spokesperson said. The palace and its sprawling gardens are being evacuated while police examine the area, the spokesperson said.</p>
<p>Alarms rang out through the vast museum in central Paris overlooking the Seine River when the evacuation was announced, and in the underground shopping centre beneath its signature pyramid.</p>
<p>Police cordoned off the monument from all sides, and the underground access, as tourists and other visitors streamed out.</p>
<p>Videos posted online showed people leaving, some hurriedly and some stopping to take photos, others apparently confused about what was happening.</p>
<p>The French government raised the threat alert level and is deploying 7,000 troops to increase security after Friday’s school attack.</p>
<p>The government is also concerned about fallout in France from the war between Israel and Hamas.</p>
<p>The Louvre, home to masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, welcomes between 30,000 and 40,000 visitors per day.</p>
