This is as close as my lookalike cat has got to seeing snow, which didn't land on the ground! She was a bit confused though!

There is a road sign (of course, not familiar to British drivers) which warns you if this nowadays extremely rare rule applies to the road which you are on in Italy. Don't you have this in France?
