FRENCH More French words you already know



Reading the titles of novel by Emile Zola, I was astonished how many French words would be recognised immediately by anybody who spoke English.
I wrote an earlier post about French words. Here are a few more.

accuse
amour
commune
confession
Debacle
excellence
experimental
fortune
joie de vivre
justice
humaine
soiree

Zola was first buried in a Paris cemetery where you can see his monument. He was later reburied in The Pantheon with other literary heroes.
