A tiger is on the loose near Disneyland in Paris, with a local resident snapping a photo of it before sounding the alert.
The local spotted the animal in a supermarket car park, took a photo and then alerted authorities.
Local residents have been urged to stay indoors until the tiger is caught.
Backed up by a helicopter overhead, firefighters armed with paralysing darts were mobilised for the search in the Seine-et-Marne district near the French capital.
"We have been running after it since this morning, police officers are trying to intercept it," a police source said.
A team from a zoo about 35km from where the tiger was spotted has also been mobilised to help try and capture it.
It's as yet unclear where the tiger comes from.
