Did you do any Googling of French-related topics? If so then they've cookied you and they're just feeding ads that they think you'll pay attention to. As an example: A while ago a friend of mine was telling me about a park in her city and I started googling/yahooing her location to see the park she was talking about. For the next couple days all I got was news and add images of that darn city. -_- If you're paranoid about being watched you could always get Mozilla with No Script and/or use search engines like Scroogle to hide your searches. |

| Try Deleting Your Temporary Internet Files
Wipe all the temporary files your browser stores and try that! Does the same happen if you hit Amazon.com say - does it try to offer you Amazon.fr? If not then it's a cookie - wiping the temp files will resolve it. |
