And then, Paris was attacked in six different locations. This story is gives one a feel of what one young adult felt after living through such carnage.

Paris, France – On Rue Oberkampf, 300 metres from Le Bataclan, a man walks out of a florist’s shop, with a white rose in his hand, and towards the nearby cordon of police who surround the concert hall that was the scene of one of the attacks that struck Paris on Friday evening.
