Le jardin de Salomé
A la mémoire de Salomé Girard, 18 ans.
Décédée suite à l'attentat du 28 avril 2011, à Marrakech
-Et de toutes les victimes d'attentat
Que cet endroit soit un peu à ton image:
Un lieu de mémoire et de rencontre pour la jeunesse.
Un lieu de repos pour le passant,
Un instant à l'écoute de la nature.
Et pour tous, un moment de paix et de sérénité
D'où surgirait parfois ton rire «éclat de joie»
Qui nous signifierait qu'envers et contre tout.
La vie continue...
Ce jardin a été inauguré le 19 mai 2016
Par Patrick Gomont, Maire de Bayeux
En présence de la famille de Salomé
Et des habitants de la ville.

Salomé's Garden
In memory of Salomé Girard, aged 18,
Who died in the wake of the Marrakesh bomb attack of 28 April 2011,
And of all the victims of such attacks.
May this spot be in the image of you:
A place of remembrance where young people can meet,
A place where the passer-by can rest,
A place where one can spend a moment listening to nature.
And for all, a moment of peace and serenity
Where we may sometimes even hear your laugh, "bursting with joy",
Telling us that in spite of everything.
Life goes on...
This garden was inaugurated on 19 May 2016
By Patrick Goment, Mayor of Bayeux
In the presence of Salomé's family
And inhabitants of the town.
 
Erected 2016.
