Deserted beaches on French riviera
The beaches are comparatively empty. I would say that half of the people are missing this year.
Maybe they stay indoors but restaurants and bars also saw a significant drop in business.
Tourism is suffering.

I wondered why you started this thread until the terrorist attack in Nice came into my mind. That does not bother us at all. The risk of becoming a victim when vacationing on the Côte d'Azur has not increased because of the attack in Nice.
And it is still MUCH lower than being struck by a lighting, being killed in an ordinary traffic accident or catching a deadly germ.

And much more likely to be killed en route to the airport than in any terrorist attack once in Europe.

I have read (earnestly!) that several hundred people are killed each year by ballpoint pens!
(It is a story for a Stephen King horror movie. But the explanation is rather bland: they swallow them and choke.)
And do some research how many French Kings had been killed by fishbones!

You'd have to try pretty hard to swallow a pen, surely?
I was looking at coroners' inquests a while ago, and it made me think twice about getting up in the morning seeing how many ways people managed to die accidentally.

Radio news just now, in Belgium; 64 Belgian people have died on holiday in the month of July; a record number. Heart attacks and other natural causes (that could have happened at home too) but also traffic accidents; more people travel by car this year. Perhaps scared of using planes or trains? Driving is still much more dangerous.

French are learning fast it seems.
We were at a gathering in Cavalaire for the show 'Danse avec les Stars' produced by TF1.
Must have been 30 cops at least.
5-6 were looking from the tops of nearby stairs and were filming and we were all stopped and searched upon entering the square where it took place.
We were there 2 years ago and there was - maybe - one cop in case somebody was drunk I guess.
