In the original video, a random lady on the street is interviewed by media. She appears to be in her 70s, and she is standing in front of a memorial for the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

She said:

C'est très important d’apporter des fleurs à nos morts, c'est très important de lire plusieurs fois le livre d'Hemingway Paris est une fête. Nous sommes une civilisation très ancienne et nous porterons au plus haut nos valeurs. Nous fraterniserons avec les 5 millions de musulmans qui exercent leur religion librement et gentiment et nous nous battrons contre les 10.000 barbares qui tuent, soi-disant au nom d'Allah."

Translation:

It's very important to bring flowers for our dead, it's very important to read multiple times Hemingway's The Moveable Feast. We are a very old civilization and we highly esteem our values. We live with 5 million muslims who practice their religion freely and peaceably and we fight against the 10 thousand barbarians who kill, telling themselves that it's in the name of Allah.

Many people liked what she said and her general demeanor. Some Twitter people found out her name and her address, and there is a crowd campaign to raise money to buy her flowers. It's at a few thousand Euro right now.


Note: A Moveable Feast is called Paris is a celebration in French.
