Can someone help me with laissez-vous enchanter? What exactly does this mean in English? Let yourself be enchanted? It's easy to be enchanted? Thank you.
In the last sentence, "Exactement Yvan ! Prenez votre temps et restez détendus !", the adjective détendus is plural; the previous comment was directed at Yvan. I would expect the singular détendu if the comment is directed at Yvan. Another interpretation is that the comment is directed at both Yvan and his friend or perhaps others in the group. It is a bit ambiguous. Do you agree?

Hello!
I am wondering why there is a '-t-' in the sentence "Où va-t-on mettre le sapin ?" Is this because it is using the reflexive version of the verb mettre? If so why do we use the relflexive mettre in this instance? Thank you.
