Recordist's notes
During the brocante (second hand/antiques) market in Bourgueil the church started tolling this tune. At first I stood outside the church and then walked under the covered market place, where you can hear brief sounds of people's conversations. Recorded with ZOOM-H1, edited with Audacity's high-pass filter to reduce wind noise.
