gabarit en papier
The French phrase for "outline de papier" is gabarit en papier.
Did you know?
- In French technical contexts, a gabarit is not just a paper outline but can refer to the maximum height and width allowed for a vehicle to pass through a tunnel.
- In certain contexts, such as fashion or tailoring, a gabarit can refer to the physical proportions or the 'build' of a person's body.
- If you use a gabarit to cut fabric or paper, the resulting shape is often called a 'patron' in French, which is a false friend to the English 'patron' meaning a customer.
