Armed robbers attacked the motorcade of a Saudi prince in the north of Paris and escaped with €250,000, police have said.
The Kalashnikov assault rifle-wielding assailants also took "sensitive" documents, as well as the equivalent of £200,000, during the hold up.
The convoy was on its way from the Saudi embassy to an airport in Le Bourget, said police.
Attackers, described by some of the French press as looking like "commandos", carried out the raid some time after 9pm on Sunday night around the Porte de la Chapelle area, in the 18th arrondissement.
It is understood a minivan in the motorcade with three occupants inside was deflected and brought to a halt.
The vehicle was then driven off and later abandoned and burned out.
The stolen van was described as a supply vehicle, a police source added.
The three occupants were released unharmed and no other injuries were reported. The suspects remain at large.
Paris's 'Repression of Banditry Brigade' are reportedly investigating, according to French channel RTL.
A police source told AFP: "It's quite an unusual attack. They were obviously well-informed. It's true that it's quite a rare way of operating."
