🚲 Sur un vΓ©lo – on a bike (to let people know you're coming!)

πŸšͺ Γ€ une porte – on a door (a doorbell to announce visitors)

β›ͺ Dans une Γ©glise – in a church (calling people to prayer)

🏫 Γ€ l'Γ©cole – at school (for the start and end of lessons)

πŸŽ„ Pour les fΓͺtes – at Christmas (jingle bells!)
