I did think of that one before! I've had plenty of arguments from folk here about "vous n'avez pas le droit de faire ça" etc. Our garage (and our drive (juste à côté) both have no parking signs on the door/gate, but being next to a bank in Main Street doesn't help. I'm prepared to wait for folk to withdraw their dosh, so long as they do it quickly. It's the ones who park and go off to the bar or a resstaurant or to do their shopping who annoy me. One day I went into the bank to find out who had blocked the garage - turned out to be the bank manager...

Ah..tricky one! Flatten-able bollards? Some sort of gloopy mixture resembling pigeon guano liberally splashed over the offending vehicles? :lol:

I got so angry one day at being unable to get into the garage that I told OH I was going to use up a few rolls of duct tape on the windscreen. The coward stopped me having fun.

@MAD87How about a tack or two in front and behind the tyres ?
The other way could be to take photos and make a nuisance of yourself at the Mairie or with your nearest gendarmes. A nagging woman usually gets what she wants in the end to keep her quiet !!
What about a wheel clamp ? But I imagine that's illegal ...

Vaseline on the widscreen is also not much fun!

Maybe a more simple no parking sign on the windscreen.

Get some particle glued A4 sheet - stick it through your printer - and it will provide hours of amusement for the victim trying to scrape it off their glass.
