The state visit of Alfonso XIII of Spain to France took place between 30 May and 4 June 1905, the sovereign travelling overnight by train from Hendaye to Paris, where he visited Notre Dame, the Panthéon and the Invalides, among other attractions, before embarking from Cherbourg for England. The second day of the visit was marred, however, by an assassination attempt on him and his host, President Émile Loubet, allegedly by Catalan anarchists, at the corner of rue de Rivoli and rue de Rohan, when a bomb detonated behind the royal carriage, injuring 21 people
