Don ,
This indeed has changed in France , traffic on the circle now has
right of way , the only problem being,when is a circle not a circle?
The road around the Arc de Triomphe , which Jonmac mentioned , is not
a circle , so give way to the right . In all fairness , circles are
always well sign-posted .
