PARIS (Reuters) - A 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit southeast France on Monday, injuring four people, while French utility EDF said it was carrying out regulatory checks at its Tricastin and Cruas nuclear power plants in the area to ensure there was no impact.

France's National Seismic Surveillance Network said the quake was recorded around the Ardeche region, where three people were injured, and some residents were offered temporary shelter in local gyms, authorities there said.
