«100 expressions à sauver» is Bernard Pivot's essay on French expressions, published by Albin Michel in paperback (145 pages, in French).
Bernard Pivot rescues a hundred French expressions born of popular tradition —such as «courir le guilledou» or «en avoir sa claque»—, unravels their origin and meaning, and champions them against oblivion. A delightful stroll through the language that invites readers to use them, remember them, and enjoy their humour and poetry.
Published in October 2008, the book continues the approach of «100 mots à sauver», Bernard Pivot's previous work devoted to French vocabulary.
For lovers of the French language and for those who enjoy the origins of idiomatic expressions and colloquial turns of phrase.
Bernard Pivot was a French journalist, interviewer and host of cultural television programmes. He was chairman of the Académie Goncourt from 2014 to 2020.
