"I do not understand that we were able to let them produce this music at such an intensity from 2 pm to almost 11 pm on a Sunday when I, with my mower which makes ten times less noise, I am not allowed to mow my lawn that day!
"
Sébastien (the first names have been changed) does not hide his annoyance.
Aged 41, he is one of the residents of the Mée-Village exasperated by the fiesta organized at the Manoir du Mée on Sunday, June 13.
The park of the house which belonged to Caroline of Monaco from 1998 to 2014 was rented to host an engagement party.
Problem: the music of the orchestra resounded non-stop from 2 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. at a volume deemed excessive by the inhabitants of the Mée district and Boissettes, a neighboring village.
When the lifting of the lead screed allowed with deconfinement turns sour ...
"It was unbearable!"
“If we have a party outside, we either limit the sound, or we retreat to appropriate rooms! Never forget that you do not live alone! », Continues Sébastien. “The bottom line is that this does not happen again! », Adds Didier, another Méen who« could not hear himself speaking that Sunday, his voice covered by traditional oriental music ». For Antoinette, who lives rue Murger-Papillon, “it was unbearable! ".
The embarrassment felt is such that the mayor of Boissettes, Thierry Segura (SE), filed a complaint on Tuesday for daytime noise.
He distributed more than 200 leaflets in the letter boxes of the inhabitants in a perimeter of 500 meters around the property to collect testimonies.
“I live 500 m away and it's as if I had the orchestra in my garden!
It lasted nine straight hours!
Fortunately there was still the curfew at 11 pm, otherwise… ”He evokes the wind blowing that day from east to west.
“He turned the music down to Boissettes.
I even received calls from people who were in Varenne Park, 2.5 km from Manoir du Mée as the crow flies!
"
Even before 10 p.m., any annoying noise can be penalized
He claims to have called at 4:15 p.m. the director of the Château du Mée, a hotel-residence which sometimes organizes services at the Manor located almost opposite.
"I did not take care of it" replies Emmanuel Dottin, the site manager who "knows that residents are sensitive to noise.
At the Manor, I only offer seminars.
The last big party there was in September 2019 for the anniversary of the Château du Mée restaurant: there was music and a fireworks show, but I had invited all the neighbors!
"
Thierry Segura then claims to have alerted the mayor of Mée, Franck Vernin (UDI) who dispatched the municipal police to the site.
But according to him, the music would have started again half an hour later.
The mayor of Boissettes also joined the national police on three occasions.
“In the end, they did not come,” regrets the elected official.
At the Melun Val de Seine police station, Commissioner Georges confirms: “There were no crews available.
After the third call, we contacted the municipal police to take charge of the intervention ”.
It is not known if the latter drew up PVs during its passage.
However, regulations exist.
To characterize the nuisance of “behavioral noises” (family celebrations, firecrackers, DIY noises, etc.), there are three criteria: the duration, the repetition or the intensity of the noise.
One of the three is sufficient to constitute the offense according to article R 1 336-7 of the Public Health Code.
Even before 10 p.m., any annoying noise can be penalized.
“There was a bit of noise, it was exceptional!”, Assures the organizer
"After the passage of the municipal police, we warned the neighbors that we stopped the music at 10:30 pm while we had room until 11 pm and the curfew", assures a member of the fiancé's family .

Event manager and party organizer, Patrick Morel wants to play down. “There is no death of a man! I was present. There were between 200 and 300 people in the 1.5 ha park. We did not warn the neighborhood because it was confirmed a few days before. Well, when there is this type of party, you don't mute the music! There was a bit of noise, it was exceptional! We did our mea culpa with the neighbors, I went to see them. I'm going to ask my partner if we can distribute a note of apology in the mailboxes. "
Because Patrick Morel is known in the neighborhood.
It was he who bought the home of Caroline of Monaco in 2014 with a hotel restaurant project… abandoned.
He recalls the context: “We have been living with Covid for a year and a half.
There are people who haven't been out for a year!
There, they took advantage of the sun, the music, they shouted ... But everyone was correct, there was no drunk meat.
I do not understand the interest of the mayor of Boissettes to file a complaint.
The mayor of Mée did not complain ”.
Some say he was even invited.
Contacted on several occasions, the latter could not be reached.
