Cultural Tip
In French, ‘en ligne’ is the standard expression for anything that lives on the internet, from videos to schedules. When speaking to someone you don’t know well, switch the imperative to the polite ‘Regardez…’. Also, French festivals often publish a detailed ‘programme’ that includes performances, workshops, and opening hours, so checking it online is common practice.
