An appeal has been launched into the disappearance of a young Irish woman in the south of France.

21-year-old Eimear Noonan from Co Clare has been living in Annonay, around 75km south of Lyon, and working at a local school.

Eimear hasn't been since Wednesday, and had not informed work she would be absent.

She is not believed to have a purse or ID on her.
