Le changement d'heure

Comme tous les autres pays européens, la France va changer d'heure pendant la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Ce passage à l'heure d'hiver s'effectue tous les ans le dernier dimanche d'Octobre. Il est accompagné d'un changement pour l'heure d'été le dernier dimanche de mars.
Concrètement, cette nuit quand il sera 3 heures du matin, il sera en fait 2h du matin. On dit que l'on "gagne une heure de sommeil".
Ce changement d'heure a été instauré pour la première fois en 1916 par l'Allemagne sur une idée de l'anglais William Willet. Suivi immédiatement de l'Angleterre et peu de temps après de la France.
Beaucoup de personnes sont contre ce changement d'heure, qui à l'origine était pour des raisons d'économies d'énergie. Il est en fait démontré que cela ne change pas grand chose pour l'énergie...
Enfin voilà si vous êtes dans une région qui ne change pas d'heure, nous aurons une heure de décalage en plus ! Par exemple demain il n'y aura plus 7h de décalages entre la france et la corée du sud, mais 8h !!!
Si vous êtes en France en ce moment, à vos montres et n'oubliez pas de changez demain matin ^^ !


Like every other european country, France is going to change hours during the night from Saturday to Sunday. This change for "winter hour" is done every year on the last sunday of October. There is also a change for "summer hour" on the last sunday of March.
Concretely, this night (from 27th October to 28th October) when it will be 3am it will be in fact 2am. We said that we "get one hour more of sleep".
This change of hour was set for the first time in 1916 in Germany following an idea of the british William Willet. Germany was immediately followed by United Kingdom and a few month later by France.
Many people are against this change, who was made for economic reasons (for energy) at the beginning. It is known that it doesn't change a lot of things for energy...
So if you are in a country that doesn't change hour, we will have an hour of difference more ! For example tomorrow there will not be 7 hours of difference between France and South Korea, but 8 hours !!!
If you are in France now, get your watch and don't forget to change tomorrow morning ^^ !

Le radis

Voici un petit légume que j'aime beaucoup, sans doute à cause de sa couleur, mais sûrement à cause du pain qui l'accompagne. C'est le radis ! En voici toute une botte !

Here is a small vegetable that I like a lot, perhaps because of its colour, but certainly because of the bread who comes with... It is the radish ! And here this is a "botte de radis" (it means some raddish packed together) !


Les radis ont un petit goût poivré délicieux !

Radishes have a delicious peppered taste !

Voici la seule recette autorisée avec les radis: les manger avec du bon pain frais et du beurre salé :D !

The only recipe authorised with radish is: to eat it with delicious fresh bread and salted butter :D !

(Ce message n'est pas très long, mais je ne vais tout de même pas vous faire l'histoire du radis !! pour ceux que cela intéresse: http://petit-bazar.unige.ch/www/2-objets/sites/10jour/10-rt.htm c'est en français...)

(This message is short, but I'm not going to tell you the story of radish ! For those who are interested in this story: http://petit-bazar.unige.ch/www/2-objets/sites/10jour/10-rt.htm but it is in french...)

La Place Royale

La place Royale est une place centrale à nantes. Elle mène sur différentes autres places importantes: la place du commerce, la place graslin. Elle marque le début de la rue Crébillon, dans laquelle se trouve tous les magasins chers et snob de la ville ^^.

The "Place Royale" is a central square in nantes. It leads to other different important squares: "la place du commerce" and " la place graslin". In this square, you can find beginning of "rue Crébillon", the street in which you can find every posh and expensive shops. ^^


Au mileu de la place se trouve une fontaine. La statue la plus haute de la fontaine représente la ville de nantes qui veille sur la Loire (le fleuve passant par nantes) et ses affluents (l'erdre entre autres...).

In the middle of the square, there is a fountain. The highest statue of the fountain represent the town (nantes) who is watching after "la Loire" (the river of nantes) and the rivers who come into la Loire (l'erdre for example).


Quand j'ai pris la photo, quelqu'un avait changé quelques détails de la fontaine... ^^

When I took the picture, someone has changed some details of the fountain... ^^

L'économe

L'économe c'est un couteau ! Ce n'est donc pas une personne qui ne gâche pas l'argent, comme on pourrait le penser... Alors pourquoi ce couteau s'appelle-t-il ainsi et à quoi sert-il ?

"L'économe" is a knife ! So it's not someone who don't waste money, as we could think at first (économe is also a word which means someone who saves money)... So why this knife is called "économe" and what is it for ?

"économe"은 칼의 이름입니다. 그러니까 흔히 생각하듯이 돈을 낭비하지 않는 사람을 가리키는 말이 아닌 거죠. 그러면 이 칼은 왜 그런 이름이 붙었고, 뭐 하는 데에 쓰이는 걸까요?


Voici une photo de deux types d'économes, un à deux lames et l'autre à une lame (pour droitier).
Here is a picture of two types of économe knife, one with two blades and the other one with only one blade (for right handed people)

여기 두 종류의 économe 나이프가 있는데, 하나는 날이 두 개 달려 있고 다른 하나에는 날이 한 쪽에만(오른손잡이용) 달려 있습니다.

Ce couteau spécial, qu'on ne trouve pas dans tous les pays du monde (à voir la surprise d'une amie non-française lorsque je lui ai proposé de s'en servir... ça ne doit pas exister partout...), sert à éplucher les légumes et les fruits crus. Sa spécialité est de n'enlever que la peau et donc un minimum de fruit ou de légume: il est économe ^^!

This special knife, which you can't find in every country (when I saw the surprise of a non-french friend when I propose her to use an "économe", I realised that this knife must not exist everywhere in the world...). It is used to peel uncooked vegetables or fruits. The speciality of économe knife is to peel only the "skin" of the vegetable and save the more fruit or vegetable as possible: It is "économe" (economic ^^) !

이 특수한 칼은 다른 나라에서는 찾을 수가 없는데, (프랑스인이 아닌 외국 친구에게 économe 나이프를 써 보라고 권했을 때 놀라는 모습을 보고 다른 나라에는 없다는 걸 알았어요) 익히지 않은 야채나 과일을 깎을 때 쓰인답니다. économe 나이프의 특기는 껍질만 벗겨 주고, 과일이나 야채는 덜 깎이도록 해 준다는 거죠. 경제적(économe)이죠!


Voici une photo, un peu floue, de comment on s'en sert ! Ici pour une pomme de terre...
Here is a picture, not very clear, on how you can use it ! Here it's with a potato...

별로 선명하지는 않지만 어떻게 쓰는지 보여 주는 사진입니다. 여기서는 감자를 깎고 있어요.

En France il existe plein de sortes de couteaux ! Couteau à pain, à pamplemousse, économe, à poisson, tomate, etc... L'économe a été créé en 1929 par un artisan coutelier français. Ensuite il a été exporté dans le monde entier, mais je ne sais pas si dans les autres pays on s'en sert vraiment... En France vous pouvez trouver un économe dans presque chaque maison ! L'économe existe-t-il dans votre pays ? Vous en servez vous régulièrement ?

In France there are many different kind of knife ! Knife for bread, for grapefruit, "économe", for fish, for tomato, and so on... The "économe" knife was created in 1929 by a french knife-maker. Then it was selled all around the world, but I don't know if it is really used in other countries... In France you can find an econome knife in almost every home ! Does the econome knife exist in your country ? Do you often use it ?

프랑스에는 여러가지 종류의 칼들이 많이 있어요. 빵 나이프, 포도용 나이프, économe 나이프, 물고기용 나이프, 토마토용 나이프 등등이요. économe 나이프는 1929년에 프랑스인 나이프 제조업자에 의해서 만들어졌어요. 그리고 전세계로 수출이 되었는데, 다른 나라에서 정말로 쓰인지는 모르겠어요. 프랑스에서는 économe 나이프를 거의 집집마다 하나씩 갖고 있답니다. 여러분 나라에도 économe 나이프가 있나요? 자주 사용하세요?

Le Dimanche.

Aujourd'hui nous sommes dimanche, c'est donc le jour idéal pour parler de cette journée plutôt spéciale en France. Si vous demandez à un français "Que faites-vous le dimanche ?" La réponse sera sûrement une de celles-ci "Rien", "Je dors", "Je regarde la télé", "Déjeuner en Famille" ou "Promenade en Famille".
Le dimanche, en France, aucun magasin n'est ouvert. Seuls les restaurants, les cinémas et certains bars sont ouverts. Et dans les grandes villes certains supermarchés sont ouverts le dimanche matin. La seule boutique que vous soyez sûr de voir ouverte le dimanche matin peu importe où vous vous trouvez en France, c'est la boulangerie !
Alors pourquoi tout est-il fermé ? Ca remonte à assez loin, à la rome antique chrétienne. A cette époque, le dimanche était le jour de célébration du christ et donc de la messe. Pour faciliter l'accès à la messe pour tous, l'empereur Constantin a fait du dimanche un jour de repos. En France de nos jours, la pratique catholique est beaucoup moins diffusée, mais chaque dimanche matin la messe a lieu dans chaque villes et villages.
Alors, le dimanche si vous n'allez pas à la messe, il ne reste plus que le déjeuner en famille ou ne rien faire ! Moi je vais en profiter pour aller au cinéma... en famille ^^ !

Today it's Sunday, it's the perfect time to speak about this special day in France. If you ask a french "What do you do on Sunday ?" The answer will be one of these "Nothing", "I sleep", "I watch tv", "Lunch with my family" or "Walk with my family".
On Sunday, in France, every shop is closed. Only restaurants, cinemas or some bars are opened. Now in some towns you can find supermarket open during Sunday morning. But the only shop that you are sure will be opened on sunday morning everywhere in France is Bakery !
So why everything is closed ? It's a very old habit, it's from christian antique rome. In this era, sunday was the day of celebration of christ, so the day of mass. To make it easy for everyone to go to the mass, Emperor Constantin change sunday to a rest day. In France now, the christian pratic is less diffused, but every morning in every town or city of France, there is a mass.
So, on Sunday, if you don't go to mass, you can only lunch with your family or do nothing ! Today I will go to the cinema... with my family ! (of course.. ^^)

오늘은 일요일입니다. 프랑스에서 매우 특별한 날이라고 할 수 있는 일요일을 소개하기에 딱 맞는 날이군요. 만약 프랑스 사람에게 "일요일에 뭐 하세요?"라고 물으면, 아마도 돌아오는 대답은 거의 이런 것들 중 하나일 거예요 "아무것도 안 해요." "자요." "텔레비전 봐요." "가족들이랑 점심 먹어요." 또는 "가족들이랑 산책해요."

일요일에 프랑스에서는 모든 가게들이 문을 닫습니다. 식당이나 영화관 아니면 술집 몇 군데만 문을 열죠. 그리고 어떤 도시에서는 일요일 아침에 문을 여는 수퍼마켓도 있어요. 프랑스 어디를 가건간에 일요일 아침에 문을 여는 가게는 빵집 밖에 없어요.

근데 왜 문을 닫느나구요? 이건 아주 옛날부터 그러니까, 고대 기독 로마 시대부터 그랬어요. 그 시대에는 일요일이 예수를 기념하는 예배의 날이었거든요. 모두가 예배에 참가할 수 있도록 콘스탄틴 황제가 일요일을 쉬는 날로 정한 것이죠. 오늘날 프랑스에서는 기독교가 예전보다 덜 보편적이지만, 일요일 아침마다 모든 마을에서는 미사가 열립니다.

그래서 일요일에는 미사에 가지 않으면 가족들과 점심을 먹는 게 아니면 할 일이 없는 거죠. 저는 가족들과 영화를 보러 갈 생각이에요!

Vous pouvez remarquer que le vocabulaire français en matière de cuisine est très développé: mijoter, dorer et plein d'autres termes propres à la cuisine. C'est assez dur à traduire ^^.

You can notice that the french vocabulary about kitchen and cookery is really developped: mijoter, dorer and many other words specific to cookery. It's very hard to translate ^^.

보면 아시다시피 프랑스어의 요리 용어는 아주 발달되어 있어요. 'mijoter', 'dorer', 그리고 그 외에도 많은 단어들이 요리에서만 쓰인답니다. 번역하기가 굉장히 어렵죠.

Potete vedere che il vocabolario francese per la cucina è abbastanza sviluppato: mijoter, dorer e molti altri termini che appartengono al lessico della cucina. È abbastanza difficile da tradurre ^^.

Bonjour à tous !

ça ne sera pas un message très intéressant pour ceux qui parlent déjà français, mais voici quelques mots et expressions bien utiles ^^...

it won't be very interesting for those who already speak french, but these are some useful words and sentences...

벌써 프랑스어를 할 줄 아시는 분들에게는 별로 재미가 없겠지만, 몇몇 유용한 표현들을 알려드리겠습니다.

non sarà un messaggio molto interessante per quelli che parlano già francese, ma ecco qualche parola e espressione piuttosto utile ^^...

Bonjour ! : Hello ! 안녕! Buongiorno!


Bonne journée ! : Have a nice day ! 좋은 하루 되세요! Buona giornata!


Bonne nuit ! : Good night ! 안녕히 주무세요.(잘 자요!) Buona notte!


Merci : Thank you 감사합니다(고맙습니다, 고마워) Grazie


S'il-vous-plaît (svp) : Please (한국어로는 정확한 번역이 없지만) ~해 주세요 Per favore


Excusez-moi ! : Excuse me 실례합니다(잠깐만 지나가겠습니다) Scusi! (anche "Permesso")


Pardon : Sorry 죄송합니다(미안합니다) Scusi


les deux derniers seront très utiles dans les transports en commun, car pour passer lorsqu'il y a du monde sur sa route on doit toujours s'excuser ^^ (sauf peut-être à paris, mais les parisiens sont toujours de mauvais humeur héhéhé)

the last two words will be very useful in bus, subway, ... , because to go from a point to an other when there is someone on your way you should always say "excusez-moi" or "pardon" ^^ (perhaps not in paris, but parisians are always in a bad mood kkk)

마지막 두 단어는 대중교통을 이용할 때 아주 유용할 거예요. 사람들이 있는 곳에서 돌아다니려면 언제나 '실례합니다'라고 말해야 하니까요. (파리에서는 안 그럴 수도 있어요. 프랑스 사람들은 항상 화가 나 있거든요. 하하하.)

Le due ultime parole sono molto utile nei mezzi, perché per passare quando c'è qualcuno sulla propria via si deve sempre scusarsi ^^ (salvo a Parigi, ma i parigini sono sempre di cattiva umore hehehe)
