    Uhm... If you're referring to the red thing hanging at the 1 km from the finish line ... it's called "flamme rouge". Meaning "Red Flame" in reference to the sprinters "heating" things up at the finish line.

    Flan is actually a desert, called custard in English. So if we're talking a perfect after dinner snack for a sprinter (who has just won a bunch sprint somewhere) a "Flan Rouge" might be the item 😄 Custard with red berries and a cherry sauce ... Yum !

    Flamme Rouge refers to the red chevron hung at 1 km to the finish
