Thanks u/director__denial for picking my “crap” clue.

This week, let’s try 7 down.

Good luck!

(but more importantly, good grammar, creativity and attention to detail)

Thanks to u/someguyinthefridge for picking my deceptive car clue last week.

I'm off to Paris next week so the theme is France. The best Francophilian clues, answers or surface readings will win, although I'd advise against using anything like '...the French... ' to clue le, la or les. We've all written clues using that but that is also the reason it's now predictably cliché.

I'll aim to sift through la creme de la creme on the Eurostar on Thursday.

Bon chance. It will be a riot! (Is it too soon to make that reference?)
