Mooky I do sympathise with you. We live i the middle of nowhere which is probably good for all concerned as I suspect everyone would have been fed up with our 10 yearsof DIY noise by now.............If they are smoking that much cannabis they are probably growing it.............so look up cannabis plants on the web, make sure you know what they look like then in about July look and smell around their property. Beware.....If you have any hidden areas of your property check that too.....it is popular I have read to grow your own on someone else's land!!! Arm yourself with some weedkiller and if you find any then sprinkle liberally with weedkiller, just make sure they are not his prize tomato plants.................and he cannot complain about somone ruining his cannabis plants can he?.....................sorry a bit of an off the wall reply but effective if you get it right!!!!!

Ive had a really really bad weekend. From friday evening 21.00 nonstop until 15;00 Sundayvery loud music, scent of canabis, and drunk men peering over my fence. I went to the mairie today to complain. So did one other neighbour, also English. Madame Mayor seemed to think it was some Brit conspirsory. She phoned my other neighbours who all said it wasn't too bad. It was awful.They either are very deep sleepers or afraid to complain. I think the latter. Six weekends of no sleep is making mooky a very angry women.

Mooky, for goodness sake, don't bother with the Maire, take your complaint to the Gendarmes and if they don't do anything, go back to their office and ask for the number of the local Gendarme drug squad office - they almost certainly will.

Mookey, If you are going to make a complaint, do it in writing. to both the maires office and the Gendarmes. You are risking your health putting up with this, you will stress yourself out and make yourself ill.
Do you have someone in your commune on the commitee who you could invite for the evening and somehow persuade them that they should stay a bit longer..........so they can witness the noise and nuisance you have been putting up with.
I shall just add at this point that I sent my neighbour a letter and a copy to the maires office stating what I intended to do if they could not keep their noise down, ie build a wall and reduce their terrace size..........we have had a month of peace and neighbours who I have not even mentioned this to are asking if I am going to build a wall(so obviously this has been a talking point) Now I have opened my mouth, there will probably be one hell of a fete this weekend!

Please, please heed the advice given here otherwise, as Opas says, you might well become ill with the continued stress and anxiety. I do not know how you can have stood it for so long.
IMHO the sooner you put your complaint in writing to the neighbour or the mayor the sooner it will be sorted out.

Mooky, follow Opas' advice and complain by registered letter to the maire. A discussion can be ignored, a letter is the start of a trail which cannot be ignored and can be traced if no action is forthcoming.
Advise the other complainants to do the same.
Start your letter with a mention of your discussion with the maire, quote the date of the discussion and if you can, mention the other complainants.
Mention that the situation has been going on for x months and that you would prefer to resolve the problem without having to refer the matter to the gendarmerie, the DDASS and the préfecture (in effect, the maire's boss).
Mention that the Code général des collectivités territoriales makes it the maire's responsibility to resolve the problems and that she can appeal to the DDASS (see my previous post in this thread).
Document and keep note of all your actions as well as your noisy neighbours actions.

I am not sure if you have a service de médiation in your town, but it specialises in these sorts of issues.
Here is a link in which the job of the médiateur is explained in French:
http://www.ville-beziers.fr/beziers_pratique/08.cfm
a quotation as a taster:
Les problèmes liés globalement au cadre de vie :
nuisances sonores, aboiements ou dangerosité des chiens, hygiène,
insalubrité du logement, stationnement anarchique.
|
|
 |
Les conflits de voisinage liés aux comportements incivils, à des
problèmes psychologiques entraînant des conduites additives
(alcoolisme, toxicomanie). |

It's very odd! I posted on here about 2 years ago concerning noisy neighbours (all night party going on outside my bedroom window) and, in the main, got no sympathy... apparently I wasn't integrating properly!
Anyway, I've since found ut that there are laws against noise and the hours at which it's forbidden completely. Next time it's the Gendarmes and that's the best advice I can give. I think you'll find it won't happen again.
