Fay Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Here's a grammatical query: if you have several rooms, do you refer to your establishment as a Chambres d'Hôtes or a Chambre d'Hôtes?Big debate going on, editorial decision needed, so I have come to the experts!Hope you can help.ThanksFay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Une chambre d'hôtes would be your establishment, but it might feature in an annuaire des chambres d'hôtes (IMO).I'll wait for a real live French expert to confirm it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hmmm... I've reasoned it as Chambre d'hôte if you have one room, chambres d'hôte if you have more than one and the hôte/s is according to whether you're a solo hôte or a couple. But my reasoning is often questionable so I'll be interested in the answer too. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I agree, but my head is full of man-flu, so I could be wrong...[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You agree that my reasoning is often questionable...? [:P]If it's man-flu, you'll be fine in a couple of hours or at the latest by tomorrow morning. However, you'll require nursing for a further week.

Fay Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks guys, I guess the definitive answer is that there is no definitive answer - like most things editorial. And, as in all things, man flu is ultimately far more important! :-)Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
