I don't see it on the street so much; I see much more style on the streets of Rome. It's 'leçon' I think. The cedilla under the c changes the sound from c = cat to s = silly. I just noted in a French novel I am reading the word 'les sons' = the sounds. I'll bet that's where we get our word 'lessons' from. Thanks for your great items of interest and entertainment.
