Carrefour de l'Horloge

Okay kiddo, so imagine you're in a big town and you want to go to different places, like the park or the store or your friend's house. Sometimes you might see a big roundabout with a tall clock tower in the middle. That's called a "carrefour de l'horloge" in French.

Now, let's break it down. "Carrefour" means crossroads or intersection in French. So this is a place where different roads meet and you can choose which way to go. "Horloge" means clock, and that's because there's usually a big clock tower in the middle of the roundabout.

The carrefour de l'horloge is a special kind of roundabout that's often found in French cities and towns. It's designed to help traffic flow smoothly and safely. Cars entering the roundabout have to give way to those already in it, and they have to go around the clock tower in a clockwise direction.

Sometimes there are even little sculptures or fountains around the clock tower to make it look fancy. So, whenever you see a carrefour de l'horloge, you can tell your parents that it's a cool French word for a roundabout with a clock tower in the middle that helps cars and people get around town.
