France's La Poste uses drone to deliver to Alps
A mountain village has become the second in France to receive parcels by drone.
 
        A post van in the Alps has been equipped with a drone take-off and landing pad attached to one door.
If there is a parcel for Mont-Saint-Martin, it is clipped to the drone and it flies a pre-determined route and delivers to a terminal.
La Poste subsidiary DPD says it is quicker and safer than taking vehicles up narrow roads.
Drones are also used in the Var.
