Nothing will change at Boisséjour.

This district of Ceyrat, a town of 6,000 inhabitants near Clermont-Ferrand, had been agitated since the spring by the complaint of a new inhabitant, who had said he was bothered by the ringing of bells every half hour, night and day. .

The man had estimated the total number of rings at 600, counting the angelus at 7 a.m., noon and 7 p.m., and also denounced their sound level.

He then launched a petition to call for the bells to be stopped at night, but another petition had collected around 300 signatures for their maintenance.

91 votes for the maintenance of the bells against 32

The town hall of Ceyrat has therefore set up a citizen consultation until Friday to decide whether or not to stop the bells between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. To the question "Are you in favor of stopping the church bells at night?" ", 91 households answered" no "and 32" yes ", indicated the mayor Anne-Marie Picard, specifying that a void ballot had been identified. “The bells will continue to ring. The town hall has nothing to do, it is the continuity of what existed before ", she said, adding that otherwise, the town hall would have taken a decree to stop the bells.

Several cases concerning the denunciations of nuisances in the rural world have been publicized in recent years.

A law passed in January protects the sounds and smells characterizing natural spaces and allows them to be included in the common heritage of the Nation.

The Maurice rooster has passed into posterity after being in 2019 at the center of a legal dispute, launched by neighbors who complained about his morning cocorico.

Justice had finally authorized the rooster to continue crowing.
