Foyot bombing by the Russian or French state during the Ère des attentats (1892-1894).
Foyot bombing
The Foyot bombing was a bomb attack carried out on 4 April 1894, in Paris against the Foyot restaurant, located at 33 rue de Tournon, fifty meters from the French Senate. This attack, which took place during the Ère des attentats (1892-1894), injured four people, including the anarchists Laurent Tailhade and Julia Miahle, when a bomb hidden in a flower pot exploded. It followed the Madeleine bombing.
Ère des attentats
The Ère des attentats, or the French anarchist campaign of attacks from 1892 to 1894, was a period in the history of France and the broader history of propaganda of the deed (1880–1914), marked by a significant wave of political violence—both from the French authorities and anarchist terrorists. Its chronological boundaries extend from the Saint-Germain bombing to the massacre of the anarchist convicts. During this period, the French press largely shaped political discourse and public opinion, presenting these acts as interconnected events forming a progressive logic rather than isolated incidents.
