Régis Bourelly, mayor of the picturesque town of Saint-André-de-Valborgne in the southern Gard department, has put up signs informing holidaymakers that they are entering a French village and are therefore likely to hear the sounds of, well, a French village. The notice says: "Warning French village. Enter at your own risk" followed by a list of the kinds of sounds people might hear, including church bells, cockerels and farmers working "to give you food". British second home owners in the French Alps have also taken legal action against the noise of cowbells in their village. READ ALSO: Could the sounds of rural France soon gain heritage status?
