L’Ami d’Enfance de Maigret by Georges Simenon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I had to look up a fair number of words, which made me feel a bit like a little bit like a kid trying to read a grown-up book. Still, I was able to get through this fairly quickly, and it was an entertaining read.

Some of the vocabulary I’ve encountered most recently has to deal with real estate, or l’immobilier (masc). As with most places, there are a few basic types of property one can buy.
You can also buy un immeule, which is a building, often containing multiple units. (Un meuble, incidentally, is a piece of furniture.)
Most of these words are also associated with this one: rêver. I’ll let you figure out what that one means.
I thought I’d stay with the animal theme, this time having to do with the things cats do:
