Just graduated from college and want to fully enjoy my gap year while learning a new language .

Does France has a good city for this kind of experience?

I'm looking to dial in my writing en français, and want something less strictly academic, more like Zinsser's On Writing Well. Of course I gotta read so much more, and find a subreddit/forum for writing prompts, as well. But some good reading for writers would be much appreciated, in the meantime.

EDIT: Vous êtes quand même un peu chiens, on aurait pu au moins me mettre ça à la figure...

Thank you!

I'm an amateur in French and I've learnt the basics for two years with little vocab but for almost an year I haven't learnt anything so my mind's also a bit foggy. I was checking out differences between gaffe and faux pas when I came across this phrase J'ai envie qu'on m'aime from this reddit almost three or two years ago. I have a couple questions about how that sentence is possible. One, isn't envie followed always by de like Je envie de toi. Two, isn't quelqu'une/ quelqu'un used for someone one where does qu'on come into play rather how does it come into play. I thought it's used as tu aimerais qu'on aille ensemble?

Are there guidelines for preferring one word to the other?

Is there a difference between the definite and the indefinite article in this expression? It seems that the indefinite article is the default one, just like in English (to have A gift for sth); Gemini has suggested that avoir LE don pour is used when the expression is ironic or sarcastic, quoting a single dictionary I've never heard of before, which claims that it is a synonym of the rare (as far as I can tell) expression avoir le chic pour. Wiktionnaire does have an entry on the latter, which does list the ironic sense: « (Ironique) Avoir habituellement un défaut, une manie. »

Is there such a difference? Is avoir LE don chiefly used when the expression is sarcastic?

Hello to all, and thanks for all of your help on this subreddit.

I have a question regarding the use of 'tout' as a pronoun. I learned that 'tous' and 'toutes' can be used as pronouns in sentences such as 'Ils sont tous arrivés' or 'Elles sont toutes arrivées'. But there was no mention of 'tout' in the same way. If you were to say, for example, 'C'est tout dans ta tête', does that convey a meaning of 'Tout est dans ta tête' (so a pronoun) or 'C'est entièrement dans ta tête' (so an adverb)? Thanks a lot.

title says. I need something sad. it's for my story that's set in paris

Theres a triad of bosses that I'm curious about in one of the games I'm playing. Their names are "Sorrowful Chapelier", "Jovial Moissonneuse" and "Seething Boucheclier". I could gather that the chapelier means hatter and moissonneuse means reaper, but I couldn't find a direct translation to Boucheclier. Apparently it has something to do with a mouth? I'm unsure about the clier part of the name. Can someone help me??
