You'd think, wouldn't you? Hence with the 'inexplicable'--if you take a look at the "official" Google fan map, for example, or the breakdown of visitors to alizee-music.blogspot.com, it appears there are no Alizée fans in all of Quebec. Most of us appear to be centered in either Toronto or Vancouver, with a few scattered here and there in the provinces between...all of which are primarly anglophone.

I dunno...doesn't make sense to me either.

... How about it, folks? Are there any French idioms/clichés relating to flying/flight that we might not be aware of?

Uh, if we're not aware of them, how can we list them?

Ok, I'll try:
prendre la fuite ... aux ÉU où sont les bras tendres de tes amours
Ok, even if that was correct, maybe it's a bit much. I think prendre la fuite means take flight, but maybe not in the right sense. Google translates as "abscond".

Or perhaps:

"Sur le vent de l'amour".
"À partir de vos fans en Amérique"


Or perhaps the former with "ailes" crossed out and "vent" inserted.

ailes is a play on tinkerbell.
vent is a play on Alizée.

I like both of these :P

«prendre le vol» ou bien «s'envoler»

EDIT: A possible phrase could come from one of Alizée's very own songs:

Survoler la terre
Remuer le vent, l'heure et les mots

"Alizee you have touched the sky, now all you have to do is keep flying"
"Alizee can you fly to US?"

I have always liked:

"le ciel appartient aux étoiles"

Not sure how to work it in.







EDIT:

Here is an old logo for you Ruroshen.

Except that you have to put it in another container that may or may not be able to close and its just annoying to pour if you put the bag in a pitcher becuase it fall over on itself.

All things you need to know about bagged milk. http://home.cogeco.ca/~husky66/Milk/
