That helps explain Paris drivers :D

Probably a French thing. My dad’s 70’s Peugeot had the horn where in most cars today is the windscreen washer action, ie pull towards you the right stalk.

I would prank my 6-7yo cousin at the time that all you had to do is ask the car to beep and it would do

80s Fords in Australia had horn on a stalk too

I had the same on a 2003 Twingo. Very handy, except for that time when I horned at a poor jogger on the side of the road instead of activating the turn signal :(

It's a French thing - my Peugeot Partner was the same, horn on the indicator stalk.

Although it seems to have changed, my 1990's Twingo also had the horn on the indicator stick but a 2000's Megane already has it in the steering wheel proper.

Our family Peugeot 305 also had the horn on the indicator stalk.

My Dacia Sandero has it on the tip of the left stalk
