Lac du Der Chantecoq. J'imagine que le seul point commun avec Venise, c'est l'eau. Le village Chantecoq lui-même a été englouti pour la construction du lac mais le coin est très bon. Il y a plein d'oiseau et de poisson. C'est le côté "nature" du lac, avec des petites plages un peu discrète pour se baigner au calme.
La mode est un cycle. On est déjà en train de récupérer les moustaches, il est tant de réadopter couvre-chef et canne.
Let me change to some less professional tone :
It's a work email. Get rid of all of them!

I use emoji as ponctuation but it is always point (^_^)
"Tuna and olive pasta"? A weird meal? I need to see the recipe.
As non-italien, I can say it: It's fine. It won't improve the dish, but it is far from being a foodcrime.
Idk what bisquit is but tsoureki is made of dough and anything made out dough is a natural pairing to cheese.
Je vois du blanc, ou plutôt de l'argent, du noir et peut-être du doré dans le fond. Mais si je plisse les yeux et que je penche la tête à droite...

J'ai cru au drapeau italien en premier puis au drapeau français. L'éclairage n'est pas très flatteur.

I meant to post this yesterday, but life got in the way. There's nothing scarier than witnessing a Screech owl yawn. And nothing spookier than seeing the owl's spirit leave the hole at night like the last shot.

Came across this fun little article about owl words and French slang.
From TheLocal.FR
This French word can help you express positive feelings toward someone or something, and differentiate different types of owls.
Why do I need to know chouette?
Because it’s a very useful word you can use to describe something that you like or you think is nice or cool. But it’s also the name for a big-eyed nocturnal bird.
What does it mean?
Chouette - roughly pronounced shoo-wet - is the word for 'owl' in French, but not all owls.
There is another French word for owl - hibou - which refers to the species that has aigrettes (Plumicorns), which look like ears, on top of their heads, while owls of the chouette category do not.
Within the chouette category, you might hear about la chouette effraie, the barn owl, and la chouette lapone, the great grey owl.
A further fun owl fact is that French also has two different words to describe the noises they make - chuintement refers (among other things) to an owl screech, while hululement is used for the 'twit twoo' cry of a barn owl.
But while discussing owls is always fascinating, you are more likely to hear the word chouette in its more slangy form - it can be used as an adjective to describe something or someone that’s 'great', 'nice' or 'pleasant'.
While the word is informal, it is not offensive, so don't be afraid to use it around children (or your in-laws).
Chouette also has a very common usage as an interjection to express satisfaction about something: Chouette! Mon colis est arrivé! (Great! My package has arrived!)
In this way, it is similar to saying 'ace' or 'sweet' in British English.
There are also expressions that use the word chouette, such as Machin chouette, which you use to refer to someone whose name you can’t remember, in the same way as 'thingummy' or 'thingamabob' in English.
And perhaps the most pejorative usage of chouette but one that may come in handy occasionally is using it to describe a grumpy old lady or hag, une vieille chouette.
If you're looking for alternatives you can say c’est super! or cést genial! to describe a situation or outcome you’re happy about. For people, you could say sympa instead of chouette.
As for its origins, the word first appeared in France around the Middle Ages, as the now lost verb choeter, which meant to be/act trendy or smart.
French Renaissance writer François Rabelais was among the first people to use chouette in writing when describing his wife as une belle petite chouette, showcasing how it is definitely a compliment to be associated with the nocturnal bird of prey.
Use it like this
On a passé une chouette soirée - We had a pleasant evening
Il est un chouette garcon - He’s a nice/friendly kid.
Vous allez faire de la randonnée pendant un mois ? C'est vraiment chouette. - You're going hiking for a month? That's really cool.

Je n'ai jamais entendu parlé de berger sur échasse mais je suis loin d'être un spécialiste de la Gascogne. Pouvez-vous me renseigner ?
Il n'y a pas de sortie organisée à ma connaissance mais il y a des gens qui font de la plongée dans le lac.
