G'day Matt
here are a few you could put on if your sign is going to be "pointing" in various directions towards different towns.
Carentan
Calais
Paris
Versailles
Dieppe
Amiens
Le Havre
Caen
Le Mans
Orleans

The list goes on, just whip out an atlas, choose where your dio is going to be set, and have a look at surrounding towns
(those ones i mentioned are mostly from the north)
Cheers

some good suggestions from david,

it depends where you dio is to be set, as the signs would be different in the american sectors in the west, and the british sectors in the east. grab an atlas or an online map and have a look.

cheers

I've seen pics of direction signs in Normandy with white printing on a black background and some with vice-versa. Sometimes the name is all in caps and sometimes caps with lower case. And sometimes a contrasting colored border It may be a regional thing or maybe its just random with no hard and fast rule.
