"Suicide bombers" at the Stade de France, bar terraces and the Bataclan hall machine-gunned: six years after the jihadist attacks of November 13, justice plunges from September 8 and for nearly nine months in the horror of these mass crimes.

And in Paris, despite the very present memory of the attack, the inhabitants managed to move forward.

REPORTING

Twenty people are sent back to the Special Assize Court in Paris to be tried from September 8 for the attacks of November 13, 2015 in Paris.

Fourteen defendants will be present: eleven are detained and will take place in the box of defendants, three will appear free and the other six, including five presumed dead, will be tried by default.

An extraordinary trial in terms of the number of civil parties (nearly 1,800), its emotional charge and its duration.

And in the districts of the capital, the memory is still very present.

"Memory has done its job of selection"

To find traces of what happened, you have to look up carefully or search behind a flower bed. There, engraved on stelae, the names of the victims appear. But Yohan, a client of Petit Cambodge, admits that he no longer pays attention to them. "At the beginning, it was very present but over time you get used to seeing the stele. It's proof that we have managed to move forward," he says. Seated at the Carillon, Camille was present a few minutes before the attacks. She refused to leave the neighborhood and began to turn the page six years later. "It remains a memory which is there but which at the same time is not present in our mind. It is the principle of memory which does its work of selection and we take back our life", she explains to her tower.

Ultimately, it's only casual visitors who admit to feeling a thrill.

Clémence precisely, came especially accompanied by her 11-year-old daughter.

A lunch to maintain the memory.

"My daughter did not know that it was a restaurant where the attacks had taken place so I explained to her. Because we are not afraid, because we are lucky to be able to go on the terrace, d 'to be in Paris. And so that the place continues to live. Life every day of the year and nothing else. Every day, except on each anniversary of November 13th or by the admission of a cafetier , the atmosphere remains heavy.
