The playground by the lake in Annecy is full today. There’s not a child in sight - the glare of television cameras trained on the climbing frames is keeping parents away.
But their place has been taken by a crowd of journalists, and local people coming to leave tributes along the playground wall: white flowers for the innocence of the victims, and messages that hint at the outrage in France.
“Innocence attacked!” one reads, while another says: “We must not fear the evil that sometimes resides in people."
Matic William, a 40-year-old shopkeeper from the area, says he often brought his three-year-old son to the playground.
“It feels like we’re in another world,” he tells us. “You can feel this very heavy atmosphere, this tension.”
