Pascale van Kempen-Herlant coteaux @Antoine 06:56 Nov 26, 2011  "Les coteaux", c'est aussi ce à quoi j'ai soudainement pensé... cette nuit. antoine piazza Argentina 21:11 Nov 25, 2011  Françoise indique la bonne méthode. Les photos montrent des collines peu élevées se jetant dans le lac -> cadre vinicole = coteaux tout simplement ! emiledgar Belgium 20:46 Nov 25, 2011  Isn't this a typo for beach? Françoise Vogel bench 14:31 Nov 25, 2011  évoque des terrasses, des gradins, des talus; je traduirais après avoir jeté un coup d'oeil sur Google Earth par ex. :-) Automatic update in 00:

le long de la rive nord Explanation: s'agissant d'un lac..	Sonia Koprivica Spain Local time: 10:06 Native speaker of: French
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) disagree  Pascale van Kempen-Herlant: "rive" would be "shore" (for a lake or a sea) or "bank" (for a river) but not bench. 1 hr   -> Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec votre traduction de "rive", mais je pense que "bench" ici, est employé autrement que dans sa signification habituelle et que "rive" reste le terme le plus approprié.
