I traveled in southern France for a bit and it seems to me like it could be a Paris/Quebecois thing because I found a "STOP" (no "ARRÊT" on it anywhere) sign at an intersection in about as rural an area you can get. Granted, sample size is small, but there do seem to be gradients even inside France.

That's because France like many other countries, but not Canada, signed an international treaty that standardizes road signs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Sign... That makes it a bit easier to drive safely across countries without reading all local languages.

Edit: Huh, apparently "stop" or the equivalent in the local language are allowed by the treaty. Didn't know that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign

Yes, but this is the only octagonal sign in the treaty, I suppose specifically so it's meaning could be inhered without knowing local language
