On 23 December 1983, the Le Grand Véfour restaurant in Paris, France was damaged in a bomb attack, in which twelve people were wounded.^[1] The attack in one of Paris's most exclusive restaurants left a large crater in its front. Five of the injured diners were Americans, and two were Japanese.^[2]

Raymond Oliver, owner of Le Grand Véfour, was quoted by his daughter as saying, "I am ruined. My clients trust me and this had to happen to me as I reach the end of my career."^[2]

Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack. The Action Directe terror group also denied involvement, saying it did not carry any political significance.^{[citation needed]} The case file was closed by police and no one has been apprehended.^[3]
