PARIS—French police closed off part of the Champs Elysees boulevard in the capital on Sept. 16 as bomb disposal officers used a sniffer dog and robot to investigate a suspicious vehicle, before determining there was no security threat.

A Reuters photographer said police cordoned off the avenue close to the Arc de Triomphe and that onlookers had been kept 150 meters (492 feet) from the scene.
