Road Signs throughout France

It is not our intention to provide an exhaustive list of road signs as many of the ones you will encounter either directly resemble their counterparts in the UK or are VERY self explanatory.

We have selected a few of the slightly less obvious signs for inclusion. Not too many Horse drawn vehicles around england these days!

We are always looking for the unusual to add so let us know if you think there are any we should include.
