President Hollande says France is in tears for the 84 people, including several children, who've been killed in an attack in Nice last night.
A fireworks display to mark Bastille Day had just ended when a heavy lorry ploughed into a crowd.
It carried on for over a mile knocking down pedestrians.
Katherine Bullock, a French language student from Harrogate, was living in Nice until two weeks ago.
She says she's amazed at what's happened, after the country has been on such high alert for the European Football Championships.
Quote MessageYou get through the Euros, where Nice was absolutely packed with police night and day and then the state of emergency is closed and they target us. It's a scary, scary, thought."

How's this for an interesting picture?
The man on the left, dressed as Willy Wonka, is Tom Pearcy, he owns the York Maze and the lady on the right is Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca Salt in the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
And if you look closely at the map between them, you should spot Willy Wonka the BFG the Enoromous Crocodile and Fantasic Mr Fox.
I've been to the York Maze, where tomorrow the gates open for the first time this summer on their newest incarnation, which has been created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of children's author Roald Dahl.

Permission was also given to convert the former Deepdale Methodist Chapel near Dent - pictured - into a local occupancy home.

The fallout from my programme on BBC Radio York in France on 1 July, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Somme continues.
At the start of the week, we told this story of the medal belonging to a York soldier who'd fought in the First World War, that mysteriously tuned up in a load of turf in Reigate.
And now there's been a development in my search for more information on my ancestor, Donald Cowap, whose grave I found in La Neuville cemetery.
Dave Durham, from the Western Front Association in York, heard about my desire to find out more about him and got in touch.
Dave's done some research about Donald and came to the studio to tell me more, bringing with him an amazing bound folder containing Donald's war record.
The funeral of Yorkshire MP Jo Cox is underway now.
The funeral is private, but the cortege passed through Jo's constituency first.

North Yorkshire's shepherds should be basking in the afterglow of the good weather predicted by a red sky, if these three BBC Weather Watcher pics are anything to go by.
Thanks to Collo Yorkshire for the glowing train tracks in York, to TC for the dramatic rusty Harrogate sky (bottom right) and to Granny Rose for the mix of blue and red above Scarborough.
BBC Look North Weatherman Paul Hudson tells me a "red sky appears when dust and small particles are trapped in the atmosphere by high pressure." This scatters blue light, leaving only red light to give the sky its burning appearance.
A man who must notify police 24 hours before he has sex can be named, a district judge has ruled.
John O'Neil, 45, from York, was cleared of rape at a retrial last year but was made the subject of an interim sexual risk order (SRO).
An order prohibiting his identity from being made public has been lifted at York Magistrates Court.
North Yorkshire Police has applied for the SRO to be made permanent after Mr O'Neil allegedly breached it.
The single father-of-two has said he had an interest in sado-masochism and used to visit a fetish club.
He said the order violated his human rights and meant he could not have an intimate relationship.

A York man who traveled to Ukraine in search of a 'miracle cure' for his Parkinson's disease wants to warn other people not to waste their money.
James De Little travelled to Kiev two years ago to have stem cell treatment, but the result is far from what he was hoping for, or even expecting.
Claire Bale from the charity Parkinson's UK says the organisation discourages people with Parkinson's from travelling abroad for treatment because "good treatments are available in the UK."
Quote MessageThere are real risks attached to travelling overseas and having unproven, untested, therapy."
