However, the warning didn't specify dates or exact sites that could be targeted, and no elements led French authorities to believe there was a concrete plot, the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
French counterterrorism authorities regularly receive CIA warnings, the official added.
Given heightened concerns about the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, "we can't afford to take the luxury of ignoring it — but it's so vague," the official said.
Le Monde said the CIA intercepted an e-mail on Sept. 11 that raised the possibility of an attack on Paris' sewage system. The newspaper said the author of the e-mail was unknown but that it was addressed to Salah Gasmi, a leading member of al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa.
In Washington, a counterterrorism official said there was ongoing and "very deep concern" about the potential threat from members of an extremist Islamist cell who escaped arrest in Germany after the highly publicized September arrests there of three senior leaders of the Islamic Jihad Union.
