Finally!!! We have reached the final day of our countdown toward translating fifty French flowers, fruits, and herbs! Hurray!!!
Today's list consists of mostly fruits, but I had to include a few important French exports such as lavender.
Strawberry | La fraise |
Melon | Le melon |
Blackberry | La mûre |
Peach | La pêche |
Olives | Les olives |
Orange | L'orange |
Lemon | Le citron |
Clementine | La clémentine |
Fennel Seed | Les graines de fenouil |
Lavender | La lavande |
This list includes a fruit known as Clementine or la clémentine in French. However, it is not just a fruit. Clementine is also the name of a very talented French singer who is featured in the song Nuits d'été along with her equally talented brother, Oscar Anton. It is truly one of my favorite songs ever. Nonetheless, today is my birthday, so let's celebrate with another one of their great songs, Minuit!
