The French dictionary is no use...

:smile: Hello,

I'm trying to check if traitement is really the name of the ceremony at Versailles where young girls were presented to The Queen? Also, is there another word for 'Napkin' in French, other than serviette? I'm not a dreadful snob or anything, its for help with prep!

Thanks,
Strauss

"napkin" is indeed "serviette". no other word. (serviette is also used for "towel" in France)
for the ceremony, I've never heard of anything like that, but I'll check

You might find the dictionary useless, try dictionary.com or just search! Technopeasant :smile: !
For the ceremony you might be better off actually researching French ceremonies on google, as opposed to looking up the meaning of the actual word! But yes I agree, French dictionaries have their limits...
