An Air France flight has landed in Paris after reports of a suspected explosive device on board.
The flight is said to have taken off from N’Djamena, the capital of Chad.
French authorities are now probing the find.
Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin said the flight had landed at Roissy airport, also known as Charles de Gaulle, without incident.
All passengers were disembarked and the plane has since been been isolated, a statement said.

An airport source told La Depeche that during the flight the pilot managed to tune into the radio frequency and broadcast a bomb threat.
“The pilot informed the company and the plane was escorted by a Rafale to Roissy”, the insider said.
They added that plane “landed at a ‘bomb point'”, a special place at airports designated for this sort of event.
One person said they were glad the threat was found “before it was too late”.
They tweeted: “Thank God they found it before it was too late.
“I am very interested in the details of how it got on board the plane.
“I have flown Air France and we had to go through security measures before boarding.”
