    Interesting that the one only translates into English; I think the second could work for both French and English.

    Nice of them to translate but I bet if they didn’t you were learn to recognize those words quickly! Nice captures.

    I would never have known.
    I also like the use of both rest room and toilets.

    Sometimes a relief to spot., and useful if in red, easily spotted, like the second one.

    Bilingual is especially good when the script is other than the Roman alphabet. 🙂
