In French, Jean sounds just like the English Sean. Connerie is rather rude, but could be translated as bullshit (or worse. Look it up.)

A Gascon in Paris. Forget the black dress, she has a black chicken!

We all have ‘Apps’ on our mobile phone, but ‘App’ is also a short, informal way of saying ‘appétit’. 

Who needs a GPS when the locals can point you in the right direction?

Quille de neuf, or Quille d'un oeuf ?

Quille is a skittle game played in South West France, very similar to those played in the UK. The nine 'quilles' can be knocked down in different formations to win different points. These ducks have created their own version. I hope the egg is hard boiled!
