French language Q&A Forum

Why is "j'ai regardé dans le frigo" not accepted ? 

This may be a little arcane, but what is the general naming convention in French when using proper names from other languages that use the Latin/Roman alphabet, especially for famous persons? For example, in this exercise Leonardo Da Vinci is rendered in the French Léonard de Vinci. The Italian spelling seems to be widely used & in the States at least there has been a move towards using the native spelling of names in academic works & history books.

In English calling him Leonard from Vinci would sound really weird.  

Line 2:

Oh, mes rhumatismes me dérangent un peu......

Is the 'me' before dérangent missing? I've listened several times but can't hear it.

Could 'allons-y et payer' also be used or is this a set phrase? When else do verbs get stacked like this? 

What is the difference between: 

Qu’est-ce que c’est que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?

and

Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?
