The financial prosecutor's office (PNF) is currently involved in a number of high-profile investigations, including those into allegations of financial wrongdoing by leading presidential candidates Marine Le Pen and Francois Fillon.

Another source said: "A call was made at 10:12am to the police standard for a bomb alert at the financial center of the Rue des Italiens.

"The usual verifications are in progress."

At least 100 people were believed to have been evacuated.

Paris remains in a state of emergency following a string of deadly terror attacks.

Just days ago, a father and son had their throats slit in a busy Paris street by an attacker yelling "Allahu Akbar".
