The observatory notes that France has experienced 58 such attacks since 2012—about four per year—making it the most targeted nation in Europe. Germany follows with 24 attacks over the same period. The article highlights the ongoing impact of terrorism on French society, particularly through the lens of the tragic Nice incident.
