There were several other sightings by residents afterward. Disneyland Paris and the towns Chessy and Montevrain are about 25 miles west of city.
There was indication that the cat sighting is affecting park operations, but residents were told to remain in their homes.
Specialists tracking the tiger say it is a young and are following it by its prints with authorities and a helicopter assisting in the search.
Officials do not know the origin of the tiger, but there is a big cat park not far from where the feline was seen. EuroDisney, the operator of Disneyland Paris, said it has no tigers.
