84 people, including children are known to have died, with hundreds more injured after a man drove a truck through crowds along the city's packed waterfront.
Ten children were among the dead after the driver hit people celebrating Bastille Day along the famous Promenade Des Anglais.
Fifty more children are being treated at the children's hospital in Nice, some with "life and death" injuries.
As a mark of respect, Town Halls across Merseyside have lowered their Union flags.
St George's Hall in Liverpool will also bit lit up in the colours of the French flag tonight in tribute to those who died.
Meanwhile Theresa May has announced Britain's security measures are being reviewed following the attack in Nice.
As armed police stood guard at the French Embassy in London, Mrs May said the nation "must redouble our efforts to defeat these brutal murderers who want to destroy our way of life".
"The threat level here in the United Kingdom is already at severe - that means that a terrorist attack is highly likely," she said.
"Senior officials today will be reviewing what more we can do to ascertain whether there is any further action to take.
"Our security services and our police are ever vigilant."
