Would you want to have a holiday in a place where evil has manifested itself?

I suppose it will be one of the safest places to be, with stepped-up security following the atrocity, but very distressing for you Jingl. I hope you manage to enjoy your break to some extent.

Oh jings .

indeed, jingl. It will be safe, but not the holiday you were hoping for. However, the local shops, bars, restaurants still need all the trade they can get, so tourists returning to the area can be viewed as a gesture of solidarity and a digital gesture to those evil people who seek to destroy us.

but agree with DaphneB. Hope you can enjoy your break Jings.

That's true DB.

Oh how sad jing still you can show your solidarity. Lay some flowers from us on GN.

It's the thought of all those children.....

Good idea ww.

what a good idea ww

Jings have you checked the travel advice?

I personally would consider cancelling.

Nothing to do with security - living in London I've often walked past scenes of carnage, some in the immediate aftermath.

You will be so overwhelmed by the sadness it would defeat the purpose of a jolly weekend jaunt. You have quite a few of these trips Jings and it's not as though it's your trip of a lifetime, etc.

Nice is not in a developing country and the businesses will not be too harmed by the absence of tourists for a few days.

I doubt if there will be any travel restrictions. Daughter is emailing owner of the apartment. Just to make sure they are still around as much as anything. They live in the same block. Going by the map in the Daily Mail, it's practically outside the property.

That's a lovely thought whitewave - lay flowers for the children jings from the grandmothers of the U.K.

Oh dear what a shame so close in time when I first saw the heading I thought it was going to be about future holidays and was thinking well yes of course it's ok, then when I read tomorrow ouch I can see the dilemma it will be very hard to enjoy yourself when the bloody has hardly gone cold I m not sure what to say to this one or what I would do in the circumstances is there any way you could change the dates ? I m guessing not I do think Breeze has a point, check first it could be that the whole area is closed off for a period

I think you should go. That's just what these people want to stop us being human and celebrating life. And yes find the cathedral a light a candle " a good deed in a naughty world "

My first thought was go and enjoy yourself if you can, as you can't let these evil people win. But I've calmed down now and thought about it more. Sometimes, and we haven't got the full news story yet, as often comes out afterwards; if they suspect any other involvement, they may lock the area down, as happened in areas of Paris. Get some official advice. And only you know Jings if you can push it to the back of your mind whilst there. Very difficult with the children involved especially.

I'm really shocked that such a thing has happened. We seem to be living in an evil world, where there are aspects horrific inhumanity.

I'd go, but with a different mindset. More out of respect for the people of Nice and in homage. But it really has to be a personal choice, albeit a difficult one.

Sorry, missed out 'of'.

The French PM has said the area was in high alert. I would guess the whole area maybe cordoned off. I live in London too, and terrorist activity has never stopped me going anywhere, so I believe in solidarity, but maybe in this case I wouldn't go, as its just so fresh. My DD had a holiday in Paris a few weeks after Charlie Hebbdo, and she did waver, but went and had a good time, and felt she was supporting Parisians. But maybe the next day not a good idea.

If you and others cancel holidays then the terrorists win and Nice suffers even further.

It's important that life continues as usual or we play into the terrorists hands.

There was a man on local radio this morning who said he loved the area and had visited frequently and was today going out and booking a trip there. If we stop visiting these areas the cowardly terrorists win. I agree with others security will be very tight and the experience won't be the one you were expecting but I would still go.

Have a lovely holiday Jing. Say a prayer for the believers amongst us for the victims.

Thanks Galen. x

It will be impossible not to be sad while you're there jings, but I believe you will also be uplifted by the strength of spirit of the French people. Please say a prayer from me too. Whitewave's idea of flowers from us grans is so lovely.
I hope you have a lovely time there - I'm sure you will.
