%N Slowest increasing sequence in which a(n) > a(n-1) is the smallest number requiring (n+1) characters in French.
%C French as spoken in France is different from French as spoken in Belgium regarding the spelling of numbers. For instance, 74 is "soixante quatorze" (16 characters) in France while it is "septante quatre" (14 characters) in Belgium ... so this sequence varies according to the country!
