La pose s'effectue, le poseur étant face à l'avancement; c'est-à-dire placé sur le travail déjà réalisé. Il est nécessaire de vérifier la rectitude et le parallélisme des rangs de pavés au moins tous les 4.5 m. Pour assurer la bonne tenue du pavage, il est conseillé de lui assurer une butée en rive.

Nécessité de réaliser une butée en rive (bordure) pour s'assurer de la bonne tenue de l'ouvrage. (same sentence as in other answer and it tells you what it is -'bordure').

edge restraint

Any area of your block paving must be surrounded by a firm
EDGE RESTRAINT to prevent the blocks and the sand on which
they are laid from creeping sideways, either the house
walls, fence base panel or new edgings along any side which
require the paving to be held in place.

Using a tight string line to keep the front edge of the
EDGING block in a straight line, the blocks are laid on a
semi dry mix of 3 parts grit sand to 1 part cement and
hauched front and back to hold in place
http://www.crystalclearideas.co.uk/how-to-lay-block-paving.h...

Paving blocks are bedded into a layer of sharp sand on top
of compressed Type 1 sub-base stone. They aren't fixed with
mortar, so there must be a RETAINING EDGE OR KERB to stop
them spreading. These edging blocks are securely bedded on
mortar.

Explanation:
The first ref. is from instructions on how to lay paviors on a sand bed:

"Nécessité de réaliser une butée en rive (bordure) pour
s’assurer de la bonne tenue de l’ouvrage."
http://www.pierrazur.com/fr/conseils-pose-entretien-pose.htm

"If laying paving with straight edges you may choose to 'butt joint'the paving, i.e. to leave no gap for mortaring."
