alittlebitfrench Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 So Mr Putin has ordered all his officials living abroad to go back to Russia with their families. He has built a nice very large cosy bunker under Moscow that will house them and the entire population of Russia in the event of such a war. He has also moved nukes closer to the European border so that he can take out Europe and its populations for the sheer hell of it when it all kicks off.So you get the feeling he is kinda of serious about having a war.So on that happy note and in keeping with this website where do you think the best place to live is in France in the event of a nuclear war ? Dordogne, the Lot or Brittany ? Or maybe the vosges ? I would say the Alpes but I guess after a nuclear fallout the snow will be rubbish for skiing in the winter.

Pierre ZFP Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Interesting question.It's funny but I had always thought that if anything kicked off with the Russkies that it would be in Estonia or Latvia not some Middle East dust bowl that nobody wants.So, probably easier to eliminate places.Population centres: Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Grenoble?Military and strategic bases: Brest,Toulouse, Marseilles, Strasbourg, La Rochelle? Calais?So I would suggest either in the Jura to hop across to Switzerland or Biarritz to go to Spain or Andorra.I disagree with the skiing comment. With a Nuclear Winter there should be great skiing all year round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Guadeloupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Guadeloupe ????Too many mosquitoes in Guadeloupe. I appreciate you can't be too fussy where to live following a nuclear war but I got sensitive skin.Grenoble ? Grenoble is already very polluted by chemical companies so doubt they would even notice if a nuclear bomb went off or not.You have to say Brest will be smoke so that rules out Brittany.The Cher already looks post apocalyptic now so I really don't see the point of moving there.Jura is a good shout or as close to Swiss border as possible. They are not going to take out their banking system. Trouble is it is not that close to the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I will go into the old Cité of Carcassonne, after all it's stood the time through the Romans and gawd knows what else. Also, it should be OK as the neuk won't be able to penetrate the French border will it. After all, the Chenoble lot didn't manage it!

idun Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I agree with JJ, I remember well, even when radiation was found in France[:-))], all the prefets rejected the very idea that anything had crossed the frontier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for fallout, anywhere down wind would suit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 An even better idea would be for me to go to the Pic de Bugarach. And catch the last spaceship out [8-|] With SWMBO of course [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye bye UK TV. What the hell does one do without UK TV living in the Creuse ?Now, someone mentioned 'Carcassone' as a safe bet. But I am guessing Carcassone is as old as Appello and just look at Appello now. It does not look to great at the moment to be fair. It seems old stone walls are not that much of a defence against Mr Putins shiny new aircraft and bombs. It is also safe to say that Ryanair will cancel its flights to East Midlands airport. So really not much point living there then.After much thought, I am thinking Paris. It will be short, swift and painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I was wondering why I was looking at places to survive. What a miserable agonising slow death from radiation poisoning or starvation. Perhaps it would just be better to suffer the massive gamma ray burst and maybe briefly see your own bones before they explode (bones preferentially absorb gamma rays) You would stop being biology and start being physics way before your brain could even notice.

Especially if you spend you days watching the Jeremy Kyle Show and reading the French Entree Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 A little known fact is that a nuclear device accidentally detonated on Canvey Island in Essex. I was kept quiet as it improved the whole environment at a cost of £5.37 in damage [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
