According to BFMTV, a building is on fire in the seventh arrondissement, on a street parallel to the Seine that flows through the city. It would be a hotel that was being renovated.
More than 150 pompiers were dispatched to the scene to fight the fire. There are no casualties, the fire service said.
“The fire service is not yet completely under control, the damage is considerable,” said a spokesman for the Paris fire brigade.
