The first of the cafes in Paris to reopen after being struck in the November 13 attacks, A la Bonne Biere, has seen regulars and new clients alike in since this morning.<br /><br /> On that fateful Friday night five people died on the brasserie’s terrace. On this Friday the press turned out to mark the return to service of the staff and customers. <br /><br /> “What will we do to restart? To bounce back? We’ve done some work, repainted the walls to rub out the scars of this nightmare. The café A la Bonne Bière is a meeting place, a place of exchange and sharing. Getting that going again is our goal today,” said the management, which added that a new terrace seating plan had been implemented “for psychological reasons”.<br /><br /> Flowers had been plied high around the brasserie, but these have been cleared to restore the terrace, and a shrine for the victims has also been reduced in size to allow pedestrians free movement.
