France, Couple at bar while flames burn around. Club owner: “It was a moment of calm after the protests”

The video was released on March 25 and was circulating around the web in no time. The protagonists are a man and a woman in the foreground who continue to drink a glass of wine while a fire burns in the background. According to Tf1Info, which analyzed the video, the images were taken at the Place de la Victoire in Bordeaux, at the Saint-Aubin café. When contacted by the French side, the café owner confirmed that the pictures were taken of a customer outside his restaurant: “They were not the only ones drinking a glass of wine. It was a way to find a moment of calm after the protests,” the man told the French side, who already saw the video. The scene was recorded on the evening of March 23 after some rubbish bins were set on fire near the university of Bordeaux occupied by students, also in the wake of the anti-pensions reform protests that have been rocking France these days.
