MORE soldiers are to be deployed to tourist attractions and towns in the Dordogne as security measures are maintained following the terrorist attacks in France.
Sud Ouest reports that 27 additional troops will be on patrol, joining the 61 that were ordered to cover the region following the Nice lorry attack, with the soldiers set to be deployed to Périgueux and Bergerac.
They will support local security at larger events in the Dordogne, with the armed forces set to continue to operate at tourists sites such as La Roque-Gageac and Bergerac Airport.

Lovely to be reminded of the migration of the Cranes.When I lived in the Dordogne I especially enjoyed the leader pulling out in the middle of the Vee and being substituted by another from the side.And their calls are nostalgic to me.
Pity M.Hollande had to be so damning about the British, I thought Britain had helped France.
Hi Wendy, the birds really are quite a sight and they did signal a change in the temperature so they are a good barometer as well.
