France

French street name plates are rectangular blue enamel with white text mounted on buildings.

France has a high density of small Renault and Peugeot vehicles; yellow-orange "La Poste" vans are iconic.

Long avenues lined with plane trees are a quintessential French countryside feature, especially in southern France.

French roads use yellow dashed centre lines. This differs from white lines used in most other European countries.

France still uses the priority-to-the-right rule on many roads, indicated by yellow diamond signs.

"Boulangerie" and "Pâtisserie" signs are extremely common on French high streets.

Much of France is built from light-coloured local limestone (calcaire), giving villages a distinctive pale appearance.

French toll motorways (autoroutes) have distinctive green background signs with white text and the "A" numbering system.
