Following this first attack on the Parisians, the latter went down to defend themselves, which led to the cowardly rout of the Lyonnais. Subsequently, other Parisian and Lyon buses crossed paths, and we had to defend ourselves again by putting the Lyonnais to flight again.we can read in this press release.
