Heureux also an adverbe?

In the sentence Ils ont vécu heureux pendant des nombreuses années, is heureux being used as an adverbe? Heureusement, the adverb, seems to mean luckily rather than happily. Is this so?

Les cloches sont passées Les cloches sont passées ce matin pour apporter les œufs de Pâques. The bells passed this morning to bring the Easter eggs. HINT: (In France, it's bells that bring the Easter eggs, not a bunny!) Is this expression idiomatic as the rules above dont seem to apply or have I missed something? Thanks.

Someone loves xxx versus someone likes xxxSalut! Je me demande si on doit utiliser "bien" avec "aimer" pour signifier "love" vs "like" If you want to say someone loves something, as opposed to liking it, do you add "bien"? : Il aime bien sa copine. He loves his girlfriend. Il aime tes chaussures. He likes your shoes. I thought I remembered this distinction, but I'd appreciate someone discussing this! Thanks, Karla B
