Dangerous deer and 14 tons of books

Couple of articles in today’s La Nouvelle République caught my eye:

'Le gibier, un vrai danger sur l’autoroute
Indre-et-Loire. Sangliers, cerfs, chevreuils… Pour les gestionnaires des autoroutes, le gibier constitue un vrai fléau. Malgré toutes les précautions prises, sur les 110 km d'autoroutes (A 10 - A 85) que comporte le département, on recense une collision par mois entre un usager de l'autoroute et un animal. Et pourtant, les mesures de protection sont de plus en plus renforcées.’

(In Indre-et-Loire it is deer that are the biggest problem, particularly in springtime and in September/October with the hunting season. During our overnight stay in Alençon on Monday I read in a local paper that wild boar were the big problem on the roads apparently responsible for 60% of all road accidents involving animals. They are probably less of a danger on the autoroutes in Indre-et-Loire as most are now protected by high fences up to 2.50 metres and wild boar can't jump that high.)

Quatorze tonnes de livres à Chanceaux

Quelque 150 auteurs sont attendus à Chanceaux-près-Loches aujourd'hui pour la Forêt des livres. Une manifestation qui nécessite une solide organisation et de nombreux bras bénévoles.

(14 tonnes of books will have been delivered this morning to Chanceaux-près-Loches for today’s La Forêt des Livres from a warehouse in nearby Genillé. Last year 9800 books were sold during the 13th edition.)
