Since 1955! And here's the original metal box that contained the chimes. Was a joy to come across this one, hope it is for you too.
The guy in the clip suggests the melody might have been composed by Raymond Legrand father of Michel, so that's a bit spooky.
The clean version in the clip is now my ringtone for SMS. Ringtone for calls is a France Inter top-of-the-hour tune, a re-arrangement of the original 1960s orchestral job. Lovely. Indulgent.
