I don't know if it was legal. Given the total lack of parking (along the 80kph road) I would think not. The gendarmes had entered the site to investigate and was told they would wind it down within the hour.
Many decades ago I was subliminally influenced to distrust foreigners, secondhand car salesmen, and estate agents. That distrust has faded. The new kid on the block is Technology, and those who use it to exploit us.

Sorry to hear of the incident and of course hindsight is 20/20 however for the sake of one disturbed night I think biting your lip might have been a more pragmatic approach :|

You may well be right, but me, being a foreigner, would be the first to hear a complaint about noise if I dared to use a mower or power tool on a Sunday.
The loss of a full night's sleep took a few days to recover from. I didn't call the cops to complain about the non-stop noise. I called them because I was followed back to my door by several of the cretins and was subject to threatening behaviour. That sucks. I suppose I should count myself lucky. In UK I would have been dodging a knife blade.
