Amidst the sounds of music, singing, steady footsteps and high-waving arms of Parisians and friends, there were laughter and tears...

There were no formal speeches, just simple words from the hearts of those present: "Paris still stands", "Paris is coming together", "Life is stronger than death, that's natural."

Contrary to what the Islamic extremists expected, which was to spread terror among the people, after the attacks, the people of Paris had many noble gestures showing courage, faith and warm humanity.

Immediately after the attacks, Parisians began spreading the phrase "Portes ouvertes," meaning "The doors are open," on social media to offer accommodation to tourists stranded in the city, despite the risk that this could be infiltrated by terrorists.

The following day and in the following days, despite the ban on large gatherings in public places due to fears of further terrorism, many people overcame their fears and came to lay flowers and light candles at Republic Square - a place considered a symbol of national unity since the march last January after the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and subsequent attacks that killed 17 people.

Thousands of people from across France and international friends also came to pay their respects outside the Bataclan theater, where terrorists carried out the worst massacre and hostage taking that left 89 people dead.

Many people carried banners saying: "Don't be afraid", "We will still come to see the show at Bataclan". On the afternoon of November 14, an artist brought a piano to the front door of the Bataclan theater and played John Lennon's song "Imagine" praising peace.

After three days of national mourning, cultural and entertainment activities have resumed. Parisians are returning to their daily lives, albeit with more difficulty and with more physical and mental pain.

"The terrorists want us to be afraid and keep us silent. So, by simply going out, continuing to live like yesterday, continuing to have fun on the weekends, we are winning," said Emilie Broust, a young girl from the suburbs of Paris.

French Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin said that keeping entertainment venues closed would be tantamount to admitting fear and "surrendering to" terrorism. She also encouraged musicians to continue performing because in the face of "barbaric acts", culture is the greatest "shield" and artists are the most powerful "weapons".

For his part, President François Hollande declared that France will quickly overcome the damage and loss from the attack. Facing fear, France knows how to protect itself, France will defeat the terrorists."
