Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  B D Finch: That seems very likely, though it would be nice to have a picture, especially given that it's "sur toute la longueur de la brique," which seems more like a channel than a frog.
1 hr
  -> ah, yes "sur toute la longueur"
neutral  Tony M: I share the same reservations as BDF: if you look at the sheer size of this 'brique', it looks more like it is describing a concrete block, in which case 'frog' might or might not be appropriate.
2 hrs
  -> Fair enough!
