More French numbers

If you've been following my posts on the arrival of house numbers chez nous, then you won't be surprised that Lizzie has been paying attention to both the style, and colour of numbers in different regions.

The numbers in the village where she is staying, in the south, are maroon on cream. Unlike ours, the surrounding border-line is cut at the corners. Lizzie thinks this is nice but doesn't like the two screws. She thinks it would look better with four, as we can see in the one on the right. (They come ready drilled so you can't choose.)

Wondering about house No 3098? It is the number of meters the house is from a fixed point in the village.
