Today a bomb exploded about 200 meters from where my meeting was taking place. The bomb exploded at 52 boulevard Malesherbes, in the 8th arrondissement, and in the office building of the former law firm of Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of the republic. By the time we emerged from our basement meeting room, from whence we had heard none of the commotion, the situation had reverted to normal. More details here.
In the evening, we drove through center Paris to take in the street scenes, which, heading into the Christmas season, are quite remarkable. Here are a few shots of l'Arc de Triomphe, la Tour Eiffel, les Champs-Elysees, place de la Madeleine, and some other scenes.
