Pour les "Progressistes," Chaque Jour est de Jour Opposé

Francois Hollande's former partner says that France's socialist president hates the poor... [More]

  1. French-Canadian here,

    That would be "Pour les "Progressistes" chaque jour est un jour à l'envers."

    "à l'envers" means reversed.

    The Seinfeld concept of opposite day isn't really known in the French-speaking world but exists as a children's thematic day in Cub Scouts and such where you wear your clothes backwards and eat dinner in the morning. It is known as "journée à l'envers".

    For your purposes the word "jour" fits just fine, the distinction is not really important.

    Another piece of information you may use some day: the French term for Champagne Socialist is "caviar left". Rapey Strauss-Kahn was the archetype of caviar left, and I'm not exactly surprised at reading this about Hollande.

    Have a good day sir.
