Salut les Italkeroos francophones !
Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire franquette ? Et qu'est-ce que ça veut dire l'expression "à la bonne franquette" ? Quand est-ce qu'on peut l'utiliser ?
Merci d'avance !

bonjour Gon, je te donne la réponse en anglais: The French phrase "À la bonne franquette"means without ceremony, unpretentious, simple. Derived from the word "franc", the expression "à la franquette" originally meant "frankly", "sincerely". The expression "À la bonne franquette" – or "flanquette"! – appeared in the middle of the 18th century. According to Claude Duneton, this expression may have appeared in contrast with the expression "à la française" [in the French way], which meant "with lots of attention and arrangement", "luxuriously".
