      Boîte de nuit: Frenchies' nightclub

      Oh, yeah. If you, English speakers, you often dance in nightclubs, in French we would rather dance in a "night's box", or "boîte de nuit". Don't get me wrong, it means nightclub, and not night's box. Otherwise, a gift's box would be a giftclub, and I don't know how a giftclub should look like (it could gift dancing on a dancefloor, or gifts inside a box themselves, I don't know!)

      While it feels weird, it's the real translation, and you should know that dance floor is used in French, but if you look for the French equivalent, it could be "piste de dance". Yes, it's long. But if you ever want to dance in French, now, you're a little closer.
