French term
frenchloki (X)
ronde des saveurs
French to English
Art/Literary
Tourism & Travel
This is part of a text inviting people to visit a chateau where you can have a gastronomic meal, picnic, taste wine etc- "XX vous invite à entrer dans sa ronde des saveurs".
Terms relating to music and dance are used throughout the text (minuet, symphony, fantasy etc), so ideally I would like to find a translation that would reflect this.
Any suggestions?

medley of flavours
Well, you wanted a musical term. I guess from your note that "symphony" has already been used.
Note from asker:
| Thanks Terry. I like medley, but still need to work out how to fit it in to the rest of the sentence (see remarks above). |

: Y-e-s — although this does rather sound to me like one particular dish, rather than the whole catering shebang; I think 'flavours' is the real tricky bit here...

: Good point, Tony M....maybe "medley of offerings", "medley of dishes"

Comment: "Thanks so much to everyone for all the interesting and useful suggestions. In the end, I used an amalgamation of the suggestions made by Terry, Jean-Jacques and CMJ--Trans. Can't share the points, so they go to Terry as I used medley in the phrase."

festival of flavours
yet another suggestion - 'festival' has associations with music and dance and is also alliterative!

celebration of flavours
Not overtly musical, I know, but I'm having difficulties anything musical with the use of "entrer"!

I'd assumed you'd translate "entrer" as "join" here i.e. to join the dance, celebration, whatever

the reel of flavours
An invitation to join in a reel rather than a ronde - not quite the same dance, but still countrified and done in a group rather than a couple or individually.

If you're opting for Terry's "medley", you don't need to worry about the verb "entrer" as it is part of the expression "entrer dans la ronde". As you're moving away from the "dancing in a ring" image, you can change your verb accordingly, surely?
The only reservation I'd have is that they are inviting the reader to "entrer dans la ronde", i.e. play an active part. You will need a more active verb than, say, "enjoy" to go with your "medley". "Experience" maybe?

| I like this, and was actually thinking of something like"set you tastebuds dancing". However, see my remark above about the client. |
