“We are taken a bit hostage”

In a restaurant, the tables remained empty. Fearing road difficulties, customers canceled their reservations. “It’s infuriating, already with everything we’ve been through before. (…) We are taken hostage, laments a chef. About fifty gendarmes were on hand to monitor this musical and festive gathering, which should end on Tuesday, May 30 in the morning.
