On the way to the ice cream parlor, the two saw the crowds come suddenly in motion. 'My wife said, 'Stop, something is wrong!' And then we turned, we saw people fleeing in all directions, as if something was chasing them. When we saw the truck. '

'We were in the middle of the road and there were only a few cars. I had to drive 60 kilometers per hour. I did not even have time to look in the mirror. 'Do Franck himself. 'He drove on the sidewalk. I still see the images of flying bodies to me. I immediately understood what was going on. '

'At that moment I decided to accelerate. My wife pulled my arm and asked where I was going. Then I stopped and screamed that she had to move away. Then I put in the chase at full speed. '

To make up for the murder truck Franck was at high speed between living and dead people from slalom. 'I only had eyes for the truck. I was determined to continue. '

With its 300cc engine, the man can eventually come alongside the truck. 'I wanted him at all costs to force quit. I was numb, yet I saw everything very clearly. I wanted to get in the cab of the truck. '

Franck knows to cling to the door of the truck and is now faced with the terrorist. Through the open window he beats several times on his head. 'With all my strength with my left hand while I'm right. I hit him right in his face, but he said nothing, he did not flinch. '

'He had a gun in his hands, but that did not work. He tried to do something about it, maybe he wanted to load it. I know nothing about it, 'he adds. 'He saw me, pulled the trigger, but it did not work. '

'I was fully conscious and willing to die to stop this man. I continued to beat and tried to pull him out of the cab. But I did not open the door. 'Ultimately Franck fell off the truck when Bouhlel hit him with his weapon on his head. Bouhlel policemen were later forced to stop and shot him dead. He had already made 84 fatalities.
