A person went to watch deer in Creuse, France. The deer make loud calls in autumn. This is called the deer rut. People like to watch and listen to it.
The person went into a military zone. This is a special place for soldiers. People cannot normally go there. It is near a camp called La Courtine.
A drone saw the person. A drone is a small flying machine with a camera. Soldiers use drones to watch the camp.
The drone found the person in the wrong place. The person was fined. This means they had to pay money for breaking the rule.
The military camp said people come every year. They want to watch the deer rut. But the camp is not open to everyone. It can be dangerous.
