Dordogne - Mosquitos?
We are researching moving to the Dordogne, France. I see in a lot of the property photos there are mozzie nets over the beds. We can't stand the blighters, so any advise on best/worst areas in the Dordogne, would be appreciated! Thanks.

Due to the presence of water, there will be mosquitoes in the Dordogne area, but French pharmacies have excellent and efficient protections against their bites
What is a real concern is the progression of the Tiger Mosquito originated from Asia which entered France from Italy and is now present in all the Mediterranean shore area ranging from the Alpes Maritimes ( Nice, Cannes, etc. ) to the Languedoc Roussillon ( Cap d'Agde, Collioure, etc. ) and progresses upwards with the last sightings in the Lot & Garonne.
So do keep your eyes peeled...
