The Véry bombing was a bomb attack carried out on 25 April 1892 in Paris by the anarchist militants Théodule Meunier, Jean‑Pierre François and Fernand Bricout against the restaurant Le Véry. The three attacked the establishment in response to the arrest of Ravachol, whom the owner of the establishment, Jean‑Marie Véry, had denounced to the police and whose arrest he had enabled. For them, it was a means to target a police informer they considered a legitimate target because of his collaboration with the authorities against the anarchists. The attack pursued the series of acts committed by Ravachol and escalated the tension of the Era of Attacks (1892–1894). Despite increased security around the establishment, Meunier and François managed to plant a bomb near the counter, killing two people, including their target, Véry. They injured at least one person. The three militants were arrested after the attack; Bricout and his partner Marie Delange decided to cooperate with the police and shifted the blame onto Meunier and François. Meunier was sentenced to life penal labour and deported to the penal colony of Cayenne, where he died in 1907, François was acquitted by the jury that tried him, and Bricout was sentenced to twenty years of hard labor, despite his cooperation with the police.
