Last night, while watching the TdF, I saw the peloton go past an intersection, and noticed that there was something strange about the scene. I couldn't quite place it, so I backed it up, and played it again. I froze a frame, and looked, and identified what was wrong.
There was a red octagonal sign on a post that very clearly said "STOP".
I thought that was odd, because I expected them to that say "ARRET" or "FROMAGE" or "SURRENDER" ;) or something on them, like the ones in Quebec (okay, they say 'arret' in Quebec).
Anybody have any idea why a stop sign in France would say STOP?
Francois? Marisol? Bueller?
