Clues to look for
Signs are in French; road numbers like "D 123" and "N 7" are common. Look for white road signs with red borders, stone villages, rolling farmland, and short white bollards with a red band.
Driving side
Cars in France drive on the right. So do Netherlands, Austria and Liechtenstein, which are also in Western Europe. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with France
If you guess a neighbour of France you still score 2 points, and any other country in Western Europe scores 1 point.
