Did you know?
- The word travail shares a surprising ancestor with the word 'torture'. It originates from the Latin tripālium, which referred to a torture device made of three stakes.
- While travail de projet describes the tasks, French speakers often use the term chef de projet to describe the person leading the project work.
- The French word travail is a masculine noun, but its plural form travaux is used for large-scale project work like construction or roadworks.
