We are due to leave for France in a few days for a campervan holiday, with young kids. Was nervous after recent attacks but today's news of the priest being murdered has got me really nervous.
We have planned Disneyland for the weekend, then on the open road, staying in Aires and campsites along general direction to med for a week.
We have the option of just driving through France and heading to Spain

What would you do??

We are due to go a week on Saturday and I'm not sure if we're going to. Todays news was just the final straw. I know it can happen anywhere but it IS happening in France. I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about it. Its so sad.

I'm going on Friday. Camping in Brittany, staying in Normandy en route. No second thoughts apart from the exchange rate and ferry delays

I could not face the long delays due to security and low level of comfort
when travelling currently so I would not go anywhere this year.

going with bells on. France is stronger than this scum and so are we. I love France and I will not let these fuckers ruin it for me.

We have got a holiday booked and we are going ahead. Fortunately we are flying, not getting the ferry. I know there have been a lot of incidents recently, but I genuinely think it could happen anywhere still.

Yes.

Gite in Brittany.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/07/2016 19:58

Hmm. I don't know. Probably if planned. But I wouldn't make new plans to go,

Am I a bad person in that it hadn't even occurred to me to question if we ought to cancel? We're going to Paris in 3 weeks. By Eurostar so we should avoid any problems at the ports.

I think maybe I'm so blase because I worked in London during the IRA bombings and I gained a 'you just get on with life' attitude.

I'm feeling nervous I have to admit (and also hate to admit!). We're going down south towards end of August. My inlaws also live in France (Normandy) so we visit alot, but this has left me feeling shaken.

I did, however, read an article after Nice attacks (but before yesterday) that the odds of being run over in the UK are still massively higher than being caught up in a terrorist attack in Europe. But I guess its a control thing - you feel you can somewhat control your odds of being in a road traffic accident, but not of somebody walking into a cafe and bombing the hell out of the place.

We are going to Brittany this weekend. We are taking the ferry to Brittany rather than Eurotunnel, which we usually use, because of all the hassle in Calais. Hoping all will be OK. :)
