I was devasted to learn today that Mr and Mrs Pétard, who have a butcher shop in Chailles, the town across the river from us in Blois, lost both of their daughters, Marion and Anna, aged 30 and 24, in the killings in Paris on Friday 13th November. While I stood in silence in front of the shop, several people came by to pay tribute. My thoughts are with their parents and loved ones. By the cruelest irony, their family name means “explosive”.
J’étais bouleversée d’aprpendre aujourd’hui que monsieur et madame Pétard, bouchers à Chailles, la ville en face de nous à Blois, ont perdu leurs deux filles, Marion et Anna, âgées de 30 et de 24 ans, dans les attaques meurtrières à Paris le vendredi 13 novembre. Pendant je me me recueillais devant leur magasin, de nombreuses personnes sont venus faire hommage. Mes condoléances à leurs parents et proches..
