At 23 h, "the room is empty," said the prefecture. "There was a filtering of the police when the spectators (some 200 people) left the theater. Everything was normal. "

On the Place Graslin, the pbaders-by do not seem to have given more than that to the panic. In fact, restaurant activity continued, almost normally. "We have seen an important military device," says one of the breweries of the place. But the intervention was rather discreet and apparently very well managed. Apart from some customer concerns, the evening went normally for us. At 11 pm, the police apparatus lightened. A police truck is still parked and patrols are under way, report witnesses.
