Paris firefighters report that the accident caused only two minor injuries, described as “relative emergencies”, with no need for hospital transport. According to witnesses, the bus driver tried to avoid a scooter, causing a fish tail. The maneuver allegedly led the vehicle to crash into one of the restaurant’s windows, arousing the curiosity of residents who gathered to photograph the scene.

Le Bouillon du Coq, this address now popular with residents and local employees thanks to its proximity to the new stop of line 14 of the Paris metro and its affordable prices, has attracted a regular clientele since its opening. This place has taken up the torch from the iconic Coq de la Maison-Blanche, an institution closed in 2018, and offers accessible cuisine by Thierry Marx.
Ce Wednesday December 18 in the morning, the bus was no longer present, but metal security barriers were erected in front of the destroyed facade.
This accident occurred a few days before Christmas vacation and end-of-year celebrations, as the restaurant prepared to celebrate New Year’s Eve with a special menu at €68. Will the repair work compromise these festivities? The restaurant teams remain cautious about the impact on the coming days of operation, a matter to be monitored.
