What does the verb 'lorgner' mean? Even my online translator doesn't know. :whome:

"Le géant européen, qui a longtemps lorgné, en vain, une prise de contrôle de Thales, était en train de réfléchir à une autre solution."

Sam, check out this semantic atlas. It's very useful when looking for the appropriate synonyms in either language.

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.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
