I should point out that the instances are different in that our problem is intermittant whilst the OP's is constant. In his case it would be best to appraoch the Maire first I think, but in our case we never knew when the noise would happen, and you don't feel like phoning Mr Maire at 2.30 in the morning! And of course the next day is too late, you've already lost a night's sleep.  Our Maire and his secretary was very helpful and explained the national and local laws.  It's very distressing and stressful for those on the receiving end of the disturbance and advice like "be more tolerant" just doesn't work.

This is surely a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and will only lead to resentment and further aggression The sort of service of Médition which I suggested is clearly aimed at precisely this sort of situation, and specialises in non-aggressive solutions, yet no-body seems to have taken notice of it.    Report

Well I must admit to causing a lot of hastle for my neighbours and their invites only a couple of weeks ago. Why?    Becasue I am sick to the back teeth of them inviting all and sundry to our village , they arrive in cars with beeping horns, bring their bottles of wine, pastis and cannets of beer, start a BBQ at11 pm get louder drunker and let the kids make as much noise as they want ::::::::::then they drive off down my village where my daughter and mates could be walking:  I phoned the gendarmes; they came and told them that if they drove they would be stopped and brethelised: Result; noise till 2am and a neighbour and their mates who cannot believe what merde the English neighbours are:::::::::::am I bothered: not really , as no one was killed that night: Oh and i am not a goody 2 shoes; I do drink ; but only in the house and neither of us will drive after more than & glass of wine; we do not touch spirits especially if they are not from an optic: This has been copied from the thread about drink driving: tomorrow we have a rendez vous with the mediator; I cannot possibly see that it will do any good with these neighbours as we have sent them letters with extracts from the public service web site about the arrett prefecture for night-time tappage and noise:    Report

We turned up at this office and were the only party there, i thought we were going to be sat round a table to bash out our differences. It turns out that our neighbour wrote the mediator a letter. What a pack of lies, the whole letter was a farce in not a joke. The poor mediator man looked worn out when we gave him our version.......of course you are only going to know our side! This neigbour has told the mediation that we sit on our garrage roof and look at their guests ,  I think that in the 6 years we have lived here , mr O has been on there 6 times...to fit a satelite dish, to trim the Ivy and make sure it does not creep under the tiles and to clean said tiles of algi.moss. She said we are misserable........she forgot to mention they were the cause of our missery, claims she is on anti depresants.....forgot to mention the spirits she downs them with ooh the list goes on. I invited the bloke to come and live at our house for a couple of weeks to see  who was having who on. We are supposed to get a phone call from this guy when he has spoken to this family. we as yet have not heard anything. I have stressed to this Mediator that the only thing we are asking is that they comply with the arrett prefeture, in our village that is 06.30 - 22.00. Then I will be content.    Report
