We have all stood at the local Brico scratching our heads at one time or another, asking for help, or maybe a particular product that we know but can’t find a French equivalent for.
We concentrated so much on our conversational French when we first arrived but it took us a while to find correct names for the right tradesman, tools and materials to get our renovation underway. We thought you might find it useful to have these phrases and translations at hand for the next project on your list.
