Hello Ward,

 > Try again.

France, like the UK, has yellow plates on the back and white plates on the
front.

They used to have black plates with white or silver lettering but that was a
long time ago. There may still be a few around, just like you can still see
some of the old blue plates with white lettering here in The Netherlands.

Once I saw a Frenchman *painting* the license number directly on the car. No
plate, just paint. Black rectangle with white letters,. But that was a LONG
time ago. 35 years at least.

Today the standard French plate is yellow with black lettering in for the back
plate and white with black lettering for the front plate. Just like in the UK.
I am positive.

David?


Here is the story about French plates:

As far as I can see, the black plates were phased out in 1992. Yes, and of
course there are special plates for some special categories, such as the
diplomatic corps and such. But the standard French plates are yellow in the
back and whit in front.


And have a look at some UK plates here:
