BE warned, if you take your dog for a walk on the streets of Périgueux and fail to pick up its poo then you face a fine of 68 euros.
The local council has had enough of cleaning the streets, with highways staff picking up around 100 kg of poo each day and it costing €100,000 a year to deal with.
The mairie in Périgueux will provide small plastics sacks to pet owners so they can pick up after their dogs, otherwise if you fail to do so then you will have to pay a 30 euro fine and a 38 euro legal cost.
