The small shops and cafes of Paris are part of the city’s soul. Those who believe they can destroy that soul by including those small businesses in their heinous acts of terrorism will discover that bullets and bombs can cause great sadness, fear and anger. But they will never darken the city of lights nor smother its soul. The world of small businesses are as one with our colleagues and friends in Paris.
