There are many...

Things that sound much better in French, in our opinion, that is. This offer photographed in Lidl recently is an example.


Assiettes en plastique sounds much better than plastic plates...

One of my other favourites is 'tout à l'égout' which has got to be better than 'main drain' !!! One of Elizabeth's favourites is 'poubelle' .... much nicer than dustbin! And what about 'dechetterie'?? Better than 'tip' anyday! The list goes on...

The English television commentator during the Yorkshire stages of La Tour also thought so and quoted many examples from the French titles shown on the screen.
