French Words: c'est la vie, dilettante to repertoire

c'est la vie - that's life
dilettante
grand cru
pique
première - first performance - usually grand opening night with VIP guests
repertoire

The boss tells me he won't allow critique.
I protest - 'it's French!'
'Not any more - it's now a recognised English word.'

What's a recognised English word? One you need not put in Italics. One you would not notice is French.
