Paris Attacks - Le Petit Cambodge Restaurant Reopens Its Doors

Le Petit Cambodge restaurant reopened its doors four months after being hit by Paris attacks of November 2015. On Friday night November 13, 2015, gunmen opened fire at diners at the tiny street-corner Cambodian eatery in Paris, leaving three people dead.

'Life goes on now (...) We were looking forward to reopening the restaurant', said Kirita Gallois, one of the three owners, with tears in her eyes, in a recent speech she gave in front of the restaurant whose iron curtain had just been lifted shortly after 6.30pm.

Rémi, 25, read on Twitter that the restaurant was reopening and decided to come straight away “out of solidarity”.

“I live right next to the Bataclan,” he said, referring to the concert venue where 90 people were killed and hundreds more injured on November 13.

“All of Paris was traumatised by the attacks, but particularly this part of town. It is important to see the Petit Cambodge reopen, it shows that life is stronger than terror.”

14 people died between this restaurant and Le Carillon, another restaurant located a few meters away, which had also suffered from the 'Terrace's commando'.
