Source language: French

Le quartier de Montmartre est certainement l'un des quartiers les plus pittoresque de Paris.
La majoritÃ© des rues sont encore pavÃ©es ce qui nous plonge au dÃ©but du XXÃ¨me siÃ¨cle.
Nous avons trouvÃ© par hasard la "brasserie" oÃ¹ a Ã©tÃ© tournÃ© le film "AmÃ©lie Poulain", cela vaut le dÃ©tour car on y mange bien et le personnel est sympatique.
Je vous suggÃ¨re aussi de visiter le cimetiÃ¨re du PÃ¨re-Lachaise, Ã§a vaut le dÃ©tour!

Title	The district of Montmartre
Translation English Translated by arbrctb	Target language: English The district of Montmartre is certainly one of the most picturesque areas of Paris. The majority of streets are still cobbled, transporting you right back to the beginning of the 20th century. We found, by chance, the brasserie where the film AmÃ©lie was shot, that was worth a visit; the food is good and the staff, pleasant. I would also suggest visiting PÃ¨re-Lachaise cemetry, which is worth the trip.
Remarks about the translation	AmÃ©lie Poulain - this film is simply known as AmÃ©lie in English

The original says : Nous avons trouvÃ© par hasard la "brasserie" oÃ¹ a Ã©tÃ© tournÃ© le film "AmÃ©lie Poulain", cela vaut le dÃ©tour car on y mange bien et le personnel est sympatique. ("We found, by chance, the brasserie where the film AmÃ©lie was shot, it was worth a visit because the food was great and the staff were pleasant." )

	Lev van Pelt Number of messages: 313	In this same second sentence, I would write: "the food is great, and the staff is pleasant." ["...on y mange bien et le personnel est..."] Surely, one can still eat well there, and the staff continues to be pleasant... Just my opinion.

	Lev van Pelt Number of messages: 313	Maybe you are right, arbctb... Excuse me the doubt, but that's a difficult word if you think of a body or group of people, which would be singular...
