Between 11 p.m. Tuesday and 2 a.m. Wednesday, the unmanned aerial vehicles were spotted above Rue de Vaugirard, the Assembly, the city’s east train station, Porte de Saint-Ouen and Porte de la Chapelle, CNN reports. Its unclear whether the drones are recreational and to whom they belong, but they’ve put authorities on edge following the terrorist attacks in the city last month. Just a day earlier, five drones were seen over the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, Place de la Concorde, Les Invalides and the U.S. Embassy, said Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office. \[[_CNN_](http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/25/europe/france-drones/index.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/"},"headline":"Drones Spotted Over Paris Again","datePublished":"2015-02-25T12:41:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:41:39.674Z","description":"For the second time in two days","url":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/","keywords":["France"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d2c9eaa26438f4f/698780e006f2c179da334264/paris-drones1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d2c9eaa26438f4f/698780e006f2c179da334264/paris-drones1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Paris drones","caption":"A view shows the illuminated Eiffel Tower and La Defense business district in Paris, Feb. 24, 2015.","creditText":"Gonzalo Fuentes—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/","name":"Drones Spotted Over Paris Again"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Bezos: FAA ‘Has Their Hands Full’ Figuring Out Drones","description":"The Amazon founder and CEO talked unmanned aircraft Wednesday on CBS This Morning when the anchors asked him about the ecommerce giant’s experimental drone program Amazon Prime Air.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/rifF4SHb/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-04T17:41:01.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/rifF4SHb.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/","duration":"PT1M5S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3721798/paris-drone-sightings/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
