An enclave you say?
An exclave, apparently...
Growing up post-Schengen I sometimes forget that borders within Europe used to be strictly enforced until fairly recently.

Thanks for sharing. That made it even more interesting!
If I woke up to a French ass stop sign on my street I would start swinging, on the sign most likely
Wow! I read the page. What grudgery.
Hey, Stop that!
TL;DR :
Spain eventually just built a bridge over the French road so that Spanish people didn’t have to stop.
Did anyone die?
Of boredom perhaps… /s
“Arret! Or I shall say ‘Arret’ again!”
Fun fact, even in France, a stop sign says "Stop". Just about the only place you'll find "Arret" signs is Quebec.
No shit? I did not know that. I’ve driven in Quebec, but have only been in de Guelle airport in France.
TIL something interesting about stop signs in the Francophone world. Thanks!!
Double down on traditional French surrender meme.
French surrender joke.
I mean compared to Spain?
