زمینه فرهنگی

Sitting 'devant' a café is a core social activity. Chairs are often placed side-by-side facing the street to watch people pass by. In Quebec, 'devant' is used similarly, but you might hear 'en avant de' in informal speech, which is influenced by English 'in front of'. The 'devant' (façade) of a building is historically more decorated than the sides or back, reflecting social status. The phrase 'passer au tableau devant tout {le|m} monde' (going to the board in front of everyone) is a common source of stress for French students.
