Mowing your lawn: what regulations?
According to the law of December 31, 1992, and the decree of April 18, 1995, noise from mowers can be sanctioned by a fine if they disturb the peace of the neighborhood.
If there are national regulations, it is important to check with your
town hall
and
prefecture
for local regulations.
Indeed, the mayor of your municipality may have implemented a specific policy to fight against neighborhood noise.
Finally, if your house is part of a horizontal condominium, you must contact your
trustee
for the rules inherent in the neighborhood noise in your building regulations.
Note that mowing restrictions generally apply on Sundays as well as holidays.

fine of 68 euros
