Champs-Elysees attack leaves visitors trapped in nearby museum
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVisitors to an art exhibit of Auguste Rodin’s works in central Paris are confined inside the Grand Palais for an hour after an attacker rammed into a police convoy on the nearby Champs-Elysees.
Victoria Boucher and daughter Chrystel say they’re hoping the Champs-Elysees reopens soon. They came in from the suburb of Cergy-Pontoise for a Paris visit and weren’t afraid to go to the famed avenue.
Chrystel says, “We were better off inside than outside.” But both agree that, as Victoria says, “Unfortunately, we now are used to this.”
“The show must go on,” her daughter says in English. “They won’t win.”
The attacker was killed in Monday’s incident.
