Every first Wednesday of the month in France, around midday, all the air raid sirens go off! It's to test them, a bit like we'd test a fire alarm from time to time. At first when I heard them I got a bit scared and wondered why I was hearing them. And then it happened again and again (the following months). Finally I remembered to bring it up in conversation with a friend and she very naturally told me the above. I hadn't realised it had been at the same time every month. I guess it makes sense but it's still not very pleasant and I'm not used to it. If ever I was planning to wage war on France though, I'd know when to attack!! There they go again...
