SOLDIERS are to be deployed to tourist attractions and towns in the Dordogne as security measures are maintained as part of the Opération Sentinelle plan to protect against terrorist acts.
The Préfet de la Dordogne has announced that 27 military personnel from the 94ème régiment d’infanterie de Sissonne, will patrol popular tourist areas and events over the next couple of months.
For the past few years additional security measures have been undertaken in the Dordogne, and across France, with the troops expected to be on patrol until the end of August.
