Julian Sanchez, 33, a rising star in Marine Le Pen's National Front party, announced that the city council of Beaucaire in southern France had backed his proposal with a 23 to 9 vote last week.

Sanchez told radio station France Bleuthat the party had "already received messages of congratulations from Great Britain".

However, many Twitter users were quick to note that the road in question is in a bleak industrial area and is itself a "road to nowhere" that winds in a circle to return to Rue Robert Schuman, named for a French statesman who is widely considered one of the EU's founding fathers:

The tweet above translates as: "A circular road that makes the round...what a good perspective of progress...pff!"

Which translates as: "Rue du Brexit will be a circular road which starts, and returns, to rue R. Schuman."

Marine Le Pen was an outspoken supporter of Britain's decision to leave the EU and has said that she wants to hold a similar referendum in France if elected president in next year's elections.
