A bomb scare interrupted the activities at the International French Travel Market Top Resa taking place 26-29 September in Paris, France. The exhibition hall at Place de la Porte de Versailles was evacuated when alarms went off after an abandoned bag was found. Minutes later the organizers announced the alert had been a false alarm and that the unaccompanied bag had only contained promotional brochures.
