Héritage vs. Patrimoine

I have seen the word "heritage" translated as "patrimoine" in a similar context to this exercise - e.g. patrimoine rural (rural heritage), patrimoine culturel (cultural heritage), etc. Is there any reason why "medieval heritage" cannot be translated as "patrimoine médiéval"?

Using "non" to replace "n'est-ce pas"

What about adding "non" at the end of a question when seeking confirmation?

Such as "Tu parles anglais, non?" as a shorthand for "Tu parles anglais, n'est-ce pas?"

se retrouver v rencontrer

Is there any difference between the two ? or is se retrouver to meet someone which is prearranged and rencontrer more random? I've noticed that kwizik seems to favour se retrouver as the best answer

thanks

Décéder & Devenir I was caught out as I hadn't learnt that Décéder & Devenir are etre verbs in passe compose: they are not in the "traditional" group (and not in the house photo on Wikipedia). Are there any other rogue verbs that use etre?

Understand 'les toilettes' when referring to public restrooms where there are probably more than one. But what about in homes where there is only one?
