The facade can be stylish.

If "flot" has the same meaning as 'flott' in Swedish (?) I think it's better to write "stylish". Besides, it's perfect

To be more precise, behind the scenes.. is standard in English and in keeping with the plural in the French

And yes, you're right, jedi2000, even in English (that borrowed a French word here) "façade" reads with the "ç".

"facade" is to be edited with "façade".

Hi Francky,
In English, both are correct.

Bamsa, what do you think about Pia's suggestion?

I would say Pia is right

People use "flot" all the time about things that are beautiful, but it isn't the right word. "flot" is something that is good-looking, attractive or stylish. Beautiful in Danish is "smuk"
