Steve Stegman and his daughter Sarah were caught in the terror attack in France that happened in Nice on the night of Bastille Day 2016. Steve is a fan of the show and sent in a question about visiting the south of France that I answered on Episode 91. At the time he wanted to know about beach attire in France, recommendations on where to visit, rent a car or not. Then, a couple of days after the Bastille Day attack in Nice I was shocked to get a Facebook message from him indicating that he and his daughter were in Nice watching the fireworks and got caught in the mayhem. Thankfully they were not hurt, but 84 people died on that day, and many more were injured. Steve and Sarah tell us what happened and how they are grateful to the people of Nice who stepped in to assist.
Places Mentioned on this Episode: WizEat Service, Avignon, the Festival d'Avignon, les Baux de Provence, Uzes, Pont du Gard, Nice.

| 0:38.4 | on this podcast. |
| 0:40.0 | Specifically, episode 50 was all about how to stay safe in France and I never thought when I |
