The maire (LR) of Lavaur, Tarn, has decided to cancel the annual fair due next weekend. The town will still hold its festival, but no fair. The maire considers that in the light of the Nice attack the security measures needed would be too costly, unless the Minister (PS) for the Interior provided extra police.
The fairground operators (forains) are not impressed, so have decided to hold a demonstration each day, with a procession from the town centre to th A68 motorway.
Whether the maire considers this disruption to the town's life to be less of a risk than a terrorist attack on the village fete is not known.
