Wild boars more and more present in the streets of Fontainebleau

Faced with a shortage of forest fruits due to bad temperatures and bad weather, many hungry wild boars roam the streets of Fontainebleau and Avon (Seine-et-Marne), reports

.

On the edge of the forest, the Fontaibleau-Avon station platform was the scene of a surprising visit for travelers just getting off the train.

15,000 wild boars sampled in the department

In search of food in garbage cans, planters and groves, wild boars are venturing more and more into urban areas, as indicated by BFMTV on Monday.

In Avon, the City services have taken to emptying the bins every day to avoid the damage associated with these visits.

Congratulations to the firefighters of @Sdis77 as well as to the @PoliceNat77 of #Fontainebleau who intervened this morning in the Canal du Château to save a boar from drowning.

Even in the face of this exceptional situation, they were able to remain professional and managed to save the animal.
