So much for the theory that all Parisians show restraint and good taste. I loved to know if there is a French word for "tacky".

As I believe Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing can be great!" In case of your pet, I'll go along with that.
Sign language is international and my guess is that there has been a bit of head shaking and tisking at this graveside vignette.
Google Translate offers vulgaire.
Actually, when I see displays like this, I am usually touched by the honesty of the emotions, even if I don't like the aesthetics.
Jack, you're right of course. The sentiments at this place are so touching. The love for them is so dear.

I know my love for my own four kitties is overwhelming. And somehow in a pet cemetery, this is 'okay'. I'm a little overdone with my own felines, so i'll not judge this person's display. But i do see where you're coming from. Anywhere else, i'd roll my eyes. :)
It is a bit much but they must really value that person's life and beyond.
I believe "gauche" should suffice. That was a bit much!
You can use any of these words: moche, ringard, vulgaire,
minable, or tocard. The most commonly used, would be 'moche'.
What would they do for a human?
