Yes. Cobbled Streets. Durable and encouraging of slower driving. Oh

The French largely gave up on them after 1968 as the cobbles made good
ammunition for the students to throw at the police.
Obviously you haven't been watching this year's Tour de France with a
great many cobbled areas for the bikes to fall over on!
Actually, I think a lot of Paris streets still are cobbled - whenever
there have been riots, they have always been used to throw at police,
it's practically a tradition!
