"Tous au zinc"*

A very French way of showing defiance to the terrorists was a call to go on Friday evening to the bars and restaurants, and make noise and light. In Paris thousands gathered before the Bataclan and the bars which were the scene of last week's atrocities. In other big cities, including Toulouse, bars and cafes were full of defiant citizens refusing to give in to fear. In Varen the bar had by coincidence a karaoke night to try the "vin primeur" provoking we understand plenty of noise and light!

* headline from Le Canard Enchainé. "Zinc" refers to the material from which the counter of a bar was traditionally made.
