Ran it through some other translator programs and got this:

Putting those together i think they're saying they would be happy to send you something if there's something you want from Ajaccio, but that is just a guess.

That would make perfect sense. Thanks deligna!

Hmmmmm!!!!!

What could I possibly want from Ajaccio?

Maybe if someday Alizee stops in and if Alizee is willing, maybe they could post a selfie of Alizee and members of the Paulo restaurant.

Looks like punctuation did not survive the journey from France. I tried adding some. Still not perfect.

Merci beaucoup pour ce cadeau de plus un très bon whisky.

Thank you for this gift of more than a very good whiskey.

just a guess



By the way, perfect choice of gift.

I don't know why some people don't use punctuation, especially in such a case where they are writing to someone in a foreign language. It's hard enough to translate sometimes. Anyways, I think your translation really captures the essence of the message very well.

Stefan Bossow, a gentleman I know on FB and who is from Germany offers this translation, which only differs really in the last part, but agrees with what deligna said and I tend to agree with and that they are asking if they could do something or send something to me.

"Thank you very much for this present, moreover a very good whisky it' s really very kind. You have overwhelmed us. If you could pleased by something, we would be very glad to send you. Our warmest greetings

I'm still working on a video of my trip. I still can't get over that great picture of you when you met Alizee in Ajaccio. What a moment that must've been. Do you mind if I post the picture?

I don't mind.. btw I actually met Alizée at Le Bistrot des Palettes restaurant for the record.. Chez Paulo was behind us the other side of the street.

She looked incredibly beautiful in this picture when she wasn't on stage; just being herself. Maybe you could describe again how that meeting happened and what it was like?

Well I met her by pure chance!

She was so beautiful and serene that day from the moment I walked up to her! I remember it so well, I said hello Bonjour Alizée i'm a big fan of you, I put my hand out and she shook it.

I still have no words to describe that meeting though because it was something that I only dreamt could've happened and well it did and it still means a whole lot to me... I used to pray for her everyday like I know you do still.

The day I met her was one of the greatest days of my life! She had brightened up my miserable life in many ways back in the day and was all I ever wanted to meet ! Yes offcourse I could,ve done better by her thinking about it now though, but she took time out for me anyway and treated me like a friend so I'm happy with that.

Anyway this is your thread and I look foward to your video of your time on the island.
