B1 noun

clé en main

When something is clé en main, it means it's ready to go, without needing any extra work. Imagine buying a house that's completely furnished and decorated – you just turn the key and move in! Or, if a project is described as clé en main, it means all the steps are handled for you, and the final product is delivered complete and ready to use. It's about convenience and not having to worry about the details.
