French authorities said they evacuated the island of Mont Saint-Michel after a man threatened police at the major tourist attraction on Sunday.
A witness heard a man uttering threats after he entered the site in the northwestern region of Normandy around 0530 GMT, district prefect Jean-Marc Sabathe told France Info radio station.
“For security reasons and in order to clear up any doubt, since we don’t know his aim, I’ve decided to evacuate the Mont,” he added.
