Nice attack: ten years on, city pays tribute to 86 victims
On 14 July 2016, a truck ploughed into a crowd on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, killing 86 people. This terrorist act, committed on the evening of Bastille Day celebrations, remains one of the bloodiest attacks on French soil.
A decade after this tragedy, the city organised a solemn ceremony to honour the memory of those who died. The event brought together relatives of victims, survivors and officials. President Emmanuel Macron spoke to affirm that the nation had forgotten "no name, no face, no story".
Moving testimonies were also gathered. A survivor spoke of the profound psychological aftereffects left by the attack. An emergency doctor present that evening shared his striking memories. Another man recounted attempting to stop the runaway truck.
