Not Larret - ARRÊT
From good ole' wiki:
Parts of Canada such as Quebec, New Brunswick and areas operated by the Federal government. In Quebec, New Brunswick, and in the National Capital Region of Ontario and Quebec (Ottawa, Ontario and the surrounding suburbs in both Ontario and Quebec) it is common to find signs that are both unilingual French ("ARRÊT") or signs that are bilingual French and English ("STOP ARRÊT", or, more rarely, "ARRÊT STOP"). It is interesting to note that in Québécois French stop signs, the word "ARRÊT" is the noun form of the word "Stop", as in "a stop". In France, the English word "STOP" is used on all stop signs, due to European Union standarization.
