What does ‘a deux pas de’ mean in a French real estate advertisement?

esreafrance

French real estate agents naturally will use local French phrases in their French property advertisements which creates confusion for English speakers like you and me.

When I read the phrase ‘a deux pas de’ and then a phrase afterwards, I was confused but now I know and I am sharing with you.

‘A deux pas de’ means a few steps on foot or just a short distance away from something. For example, “a deux pas d’ecole’ means a short walk to a school.

French real estate advertisement: What does “une maison avec un joli jardin de cure’ mean?

english speaking French realtor

When you read a French real estate advertisement with the phrase “UNE MAISON AVEC UN JOLI JARDIN DE CURÉ” you may wonder what this means.

We have been told the origin of the meaning is referring to the garden of a priest where he would have cultivated fruit and vegetables and perhaps to meditate.

Today, the expression refers to a very small garden attached to a property where you just might be able to grow some fruits and vegetables.
