This message is for you, yes you who have never set foot in Gaillard land. We are going to give you some advice and, above all, some vocabulary rules that could save your life during your stay here. 

Open your eyes wide and take out the notebook for the notes, with all this, you will have enough to decipher the Gaillard and have a stay without misunderstandings ☺!

Four guys are holding signs with different emojis
  1. You can't set foot in a bar without hearing about the CAB, in fact it's the city's pro rugby club (so an integration tip, we definitely don't say that we come from Clermont and of course you like rugby). As a reminder, rugby is 15 players, 7 substitutes, 80 minutes and above all 3 halves (the third taking place near a counter!). 
  2. You hear “Calf’s head”: it’s not an insult but it’s what we eat…
  3. We tell you “Sardine”: it’s not a tapas proposition in fact it’s Patrick Sébastien’s song so you like it.
  4. Never call a Briviste a Brave unless you want to call him stupid and cause a general fight at the bar.
  5. Stuffed hard (Farci dure), it doesn't mean you've had too much to drink, it's just another specialty to taste.
  6. We're going to the Charrette or the Cardinal, don't worry, we're not going to the car or the church, it's simply a trap aimed at taking you to a nightclub.
  7. In a restaurant, never, ever: ask for a spoon for two, order a salad or refuse the digeo at the risk of being kicked out by the boss! 

You are now ready for a stay in Gaillard land!
