Any french speakers?

*euroflash* · 09-13-2010, 12:31 AM

Hi, any French-speaking people here? I would like to know what it the best choice for a travel-related domain in an extension of a French-speaking country:

vacance.cctld
vacances.cctld
voyage.cctld
voyages.cctld

Or maybe something entirely else?

Thanks a lot.

As for voyages I would pick both singular and plural. If I had to choose one I would favor voyages (plural).

As for holidays the plural form is normally always used: vacances
In French I think vacance usually means vacant post.

Both vacances.cctld and voyages.cctld sound really good in french.
voyage.cctld would also be good.

But vacance.cctld looks a little bit weird, indeed.

Thanks a lot for the input. Rep added!

I'd say all 4 have value, I fear though they'll be long taken with the .fr ccTLD... Otherwise, if the ccTLD you're using sounds not too odd, then this may work.

Thanks for the input. The ccTLD is one of a mainly French-speaking, developing nation. So probably almost worthless right now, but who knows about 10 years from now

PS: Tried to rep you as well, but system would not allow me...

Thanks, looks like the three others are the ones to go for.

Yep. I dont think they use the word "vacance" without the s. It's a noun that's almost always used in plural. As for voyage and voyages...I believe "voyage" would sell for more if the buyer is French. The "s" makes it sound like a journal or a travelog.
