The answer.

The solution to yesterday's photo for the day.

 

It's the router - modem (or whatever they're called in English) for the telephone and Internet.

 

It sits on top of the Livebox Play which is the decoder for the TV.

Having read DaveSPN's comment just before we had dinner I thought I'd explain why France seems to be slow in its computer technology.

Long before the Internet France and other countries too had Minitel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel

As people could get almost as much information they wanted via that, they were possibly slower to change to the Internet and WWW than some other countries.

 

When we got our modem we were also given a device for fibre-optics too. But, as yet Orange ("France Telecom"), have not told us when this service will be available, although one of the other providers is already advertising their system on TV.
