I get an email from Figaro every week, and I thought it might be useful for those who are, or who are contemplating being, landlords.

That’s an inventive one, isn’t it, lol? I wonder how a red hot raclette machine manages to fall on the floor in the first place.

Lino?!?!

[Corona]

Common term for PVC flooring maybe although lino was beginning to make a comeback.

Maybe like some gites I have stayed in it’s actually the original 60’s lino, time to redecorate.

Oh puh-lease, that’s so passé, these days we call it “revêtement de sol” - just rolls off the tongue, don’t ya know
