De mauvaises fréquentations
Sometimes French is truly wonderful.
Last night I was walking back to the car with a friend through the dark, wet streets of Bordeaux.
He said that Bordeaux wasn't always nice. Just a few years ago all the buildings were black, there were cars everywhere and on the quays there were old derelict warehouses everywhere and there were "de mauvaises fréquentations".
He meant dodgy characters used to hang around there.
But de mauvaises fréquentations sounds so much better, doesn't it.
