Drinking Cognac Calmly Amidst Riots: "Flames Are Rising, But They Don't Even Look"

A video reportedly filmed at a café on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on the 17th shows a man and a woman sitting on an outdoor terrace, sipping glasses of cognac.

Flames were surging just a few steps away, yet the two appeared unfazed as they continued to drink.

Amidst the severe violence sweeping Paris, the sight of some Parisians trying to maintain their daily routines sparked mixed reactions on social media.

While some reacted by saying, "It shows a secure mindset trying to preserve everyday life even amidst chaos," others expressed astonishment, calling it "extreme individualism."
