Hop along, say the French courts to the frogs.

After nearly a decade of lawsuits, Michel and Annie Pécheras of Grignols village, about 70 miles east of Bordeaux, are being ordered to drain the 300-square-meter pond on their property due to noisy frogs — a cacophony that one nearby neighbor claimed reached up to 63 decibels as measured from his house.

However, environmental groups argue that the pond’s removal would harm at least six protected frog species in France, according to the Cistude Nature Association, the Guardian reported on Tuesday.

Jean-Louis Malfione, the Pécherases’ neighbor in a community of just 587 residents, first filed a suit in 2012, citing other witnesses to the racket.

But the Pécherases claim that Malfione never raised a complaint with them — and he initially complimented their pond and inquired about who did the excavation work so he could have one himself, they alleged.

For nine years, the case jumped between local and regional courts, during which time conservation groups such as the Société pour l’Étude et l’Aménagement de la Nature Dans le Sud-Ouest have tried to rescue the frogs prior to the destruction of their habitat. The courts have also denied this measure.

Now, they’ve vowed to appeal to the nation’s highest court, the cour de cassation.

Meanwhile, the Pécherases have 90 days to finish draining lest they incur fines and other charges, though they and environmental activists hope to sway the public with a petition to save the grenouilles (frogs) de Grignols, supported by more than 94,000 signatories.
