BBC, interesting article:

Paris night drone mystery deepens


Drones have appeared over landmarks in central Paris for the second night running and police are no closer to knowing who is operating them.
---
Up to three drones were seen near the Invalides military museum, Place de la Concorde and two of the old city gates.

Flying drones over Paris at night is illegal and daytime flights require authorisation from the city.

Five drones were seen the previous night in similar areas, including the Eiffel Tower and above the US embassy, close to Place de la Concorde.
