A much happier Christmas scene: my photo was taken while walking past, December 2016.
After the devastating fire at this centuries-old Aix brasserie, it seemed that fast action was being taken to find out what had happened early on 30th November: witnesses were interviewed and evidence collected.
But La Provence is reporting that, over two weeks later, it still isn’t clear whether the cause was accidental or deliberate, though the latter scenario is getting most attention. The mysterious malfunction of the security camera, opposite the brasserie, at 6:03, continues to puzzle.
Those interested in the history of this famous landmark may be interested in the Facebook page, established by members of the Teissier family who ran Les Deux Garcons, 1951-1983. They have posted anecdotes, images and extracts from their Livre d’Or. You may wish to contribute your memories?
