Due to security measures, Montparnasse station was temporarily evacuated early Thursday afternoon. An intervention deemed necessary by the services of the Parisian station due to forgotten luggage. “Items forgotten by a traveler at Paris Montparnasse station require the application of the planned security procedures,” published the SNCF on the X accounts – ex-Twitter – of its N and U transiliens lines.

Hundreds of passengers then found themselves outside, and had to wait a few minutes before the incident was over. Ticket holders were able to return inside the station after 15 minutes. “It lasted a very short time and there was no impact on traffic,” SNCF also indicated to Ouest-France.
