Living in interesting times as always. Gare du Nord has been evacuated due to an unattended baggage. Armed police are everywhere. Walking chaperoned through the empty Eurostar platform was eerie.#garedunordevacuéepic.twitter.com/DovIwOqOg7
We missed our Eurostar due to SNCF delay. Got our new tickets. Through security. Then: All of gare du nord evacuated. Now on pavement with 1000s of others. Bomb squad here & suited up. I thought our first holiday W/O kids might go smoother.#garedunordevavueepic.twitter.com/s5viUrrBZL
