This is a really confusing and grey area because every department seems to do its own thing despite the fact that France did pass a law in 2011 banning garden bonfires all year round.
Here in the sleepy hamlet of La Trou we used to be banned from burning garden waste from June 15 to September 15. Quite sensible if it was a hot summer. Now rumour has it we are banned all year because there is access to a decheterrie so we have to take all garden waste there. Quite impossible as we don't possess a trailer let alone a car with a tow bar.
But the rumour is just that - a rumour. No one seems to know the right answer.
You could either do as our French neighbours do - burn garden waste whenever you fancy - or send a French-fluent, slim-hipped youth to ask at the Mairie.
Not much help I'm afraid but the Mairie is the only place to find out what the position is in La Trim.
