I looked on Wiktionary and the expression ´a l’air livré means out in the open’. When I typed a l’air libre ‘ on the test, the correct answer was a la belle étoile

Hi Ariana,
I personally have never heard the expression 'à l'air libre', of course, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist but if you were to sleep outside you would say -
coucher à la belle étoile
which is a lovely expression to learn, don't you think?

Hi Ariana,
They both amount to the same thing:-
à l'air libre -- out in the open air
à la belle étoile -- under the stars (as in, out in the open)
Hope this helps
Jim
