As France prepares for the Bastille Day celebrations on July 14, 2025, regional authorities in Seine-et-Marne and Savoie have implemented robust security measures to ensure public safety. The Prefect of Seine-et-Marne has announced the use of drone surveillance from July 13 to July 15 to monitor events.
