What does the verb 'lorgner' mean? Even my online translator doesn't know. ![]() "Le géant européen, qui a longtemps lorgné, en vain, une prise de contrôle de Thales, était en train de réfléchir à une autre solution." |

When I go to France, that's something that I do quite a lot of, funnily enough. I'm talking about the wine, of course. |
