Klotz A. (IRAP-CNRS-OMP), Gendre B. (ASDC/INAF-OAR),
Boer M. (UNS-CNRS-OCA), Atteia J.L. (IRAP-CNRS-OMP) report:

We continue observations of GRB 120327A (trigger 518731)
with the TAROT robotic telescope (D=25cm) located at the
European Southern Observatory, La Silla observatory, Chile.

An optical decay alpha=1.3 (+/- 0.3) is deduced from the
following observations:
