Lost in Translation


Yet another sign I encountered in Paris, this time in an elevator, which I suppose meant to warn users against allowing children to ride it without parental supervision. However, the English translation, 'Children with adult only', made it seem to us, like the lift only had a capacity for one adult if there were more than one child inside.

Also, on a side note, the symbols used seemed to say that only women and girls were allowed to ride in the elevator but not girls alone. haha. Perhaps they ran out of male stick person stencils!
