Update on the flying plant
Our neighbour came knocking at our door late Friday afternoon to get his plant back. Dadou has told me already not to open the door because he wanted to talk to them first. I opened anyway and told the guy to come back later tonight. I waited for an apology. Nothing. He said he won’t be home at night since he’s working. I told him to come back the following day. He did when we were having lunch.
Of course the scenario was unpleasant. Dadou’s voice was cold. Much as he tried to compose himself I could sense a hint of anger. Dadou emphasized on their irresponsibility of which the guy replied he knows the implication of the word since he is a boss of a company. Dadou retorted back saying that he obviously lacks of civil responsibility as he puts others’ lives in danger and went on reading to the guy the laws.

In short, this thing has been settled. The guy understood (hopefully) that next time if there are things falling from their balcony that would risk our safety, Dadou will go directly to the police. We’ve filed a formal complain to the Mairie already with the photos attached. Although it’s common in France to have a concierge in a residence, ours doesn’t have any. It’s up to our neighbours now to understand our letter of request to get rid of their plants hanging directly on our balcony and to understand the law attached therein.
