    Great fun once again, though this one outstripped my nearly nonexistent French, so I had to look up a couple of the words. Thanks again!

      Yes - I'm afraid I thought up one across and just had to use it, even thought it entailed having to try really hard to find other words that fitted!

      Fun, thank you! (Liberal use of Google Translate helped.) I think I understand all of the entries except 4A. Any tips?

        It's a contained clue (or what I call an ENCLOSURE). "Un petit peu" means "a little bit", so you have to extract A LITTLE BIT of the preceding words to get the name of a fruit (which is the same in English and French).
