I took this photo last month while walking around in Paris.
Non, non, non (In French a 'no' is a 'non'). 'Brasserie' is not the thing worn by ladies for upliftment. That is 'brassiere'. Yes you guessed it right- a French invention. Herminie Cadolle of France is believed to have invented the first modern bra in 1889.
'Brasserie' in French, literally means a 'brewery'. The origin of the word probably stems from the fact that beer was brewed on the premises rather than brought in: thus an inn would brew its own beer as well as supply food and invariably accommodation too. Now a days it denotes a French informal restaurant.
Learning French made easy? No? I mean 'Non'?
