The Rohan bombing, sometimes referred to as the Louvre attack, was an anarchist attack that occurred on 31 May 1905, at the intersection of Rue de Rohan and Rue de Rivoli in Paris. It targeted the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII and French President Émile Loubet. It killed nobody while injuring twenty-one. Presumably organized by Catalan anarchists, the police arrested four suspects following the attack. The suspects had no real connection to the bombing, apart from being left-wing or anarchist, and all were acquitted. The main suspect, a certain Aviño, known to French police as Alexandre Farras, remained at large and was never taken.
