Two aerial work platforms have been deployed as firefighters battle to contain the blaze, with fears the wooden beams of the modern building – constructed in 2019 – could collapse.

The Paris Fire Department has urged the public to avoid the area and warned local residents to “be careful”; as emergency services work to tackle the inferno.

No official information has yet been released on the cause or extent of the damage.
