Notes

GENERAL INFO

"Vue" is a feminine noun meaning "view," "sight," or "vision." It relates to what you can see.

USAGE

It's common in phrases like "une belle vue" (a beautiful view), "à première vue" (at first sight), or "perdre la vue" (to lose one's sight). You can also say "avoir vue sur" to mean having a view overlooking something.

TRAPS
