2 deuche
n. f. (abbr. deux-chevaux): Citroen 2 CV motor car. (A not uncommon misconception is that this famous 'sit-up-and-beg' French motoring contraption is powered only by a 2 hp engine. In fact, for taxation purposes in France, road fund licences are issued for vehicles on the basis of 'chevaux fiscaux'. These units bear no relation to the traditional concept of brake horse-power.) -
3 Colombey les Deux Eglises
Village in the Haute Marne department of Champagne-Ardenne in which General de Gaulle had his country retreat, la Boisserie. De Gaulle died here in 1970, and is buried in the village churchyard, which has become a pilgrimage point for his followers. Political leaders regularly make a point of visiting Colombey in order to demonstrate their attachment to the Gaullist heritage. Contrary to a popular misconception, de Gaulle was not born here, nor was Colombey the ancestral seat of his family.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Colombey les Deux Eglises
