Paris brisée, Paris martyrisée mais ... Paris! Paris! Nous sommes tous Parisiens.

Nous en avons vu des bien pires et nous avons survecu, et nous avons continuer a prosperer. Meme si aujourd'hui nous sommes a genoux, meme si aujourd'hui nos larmes debordent, meme si l'emotion est trop forte pour etre immediatement traduite en mots. Nul ne doit douter que nous emergeront de cette tragedie encore plus forts, plus resplendissants, LA PERLE DU MONDE ENTIER.

Vive Paris!

Vive la France!
