When Hester says "Good Moaning" upon seeing the moustached police officer this is a nod to the British sitcom 'Allo 'Allo! which was also set in France. "Good Moaning" was the catchphrase of Officer Crabtree, a bumbling moustached Brit working undercover as a policeman in wartime France who was awful at speaking French with constant comedic results. 'Allo 'Allo! ran for 9 series over 10 years on BBC1 (1982-1992).
