Difference between Iconic and Emblematic
This question relates to:French writing exercise "A day in the city of Le Mans"
Asked 1 year ago
Bonjour Denisa,
Nowadays, I would say that both are accepted (the French adjective "iconique" has taken on the meaning of the English adjective "iconic" in "recent" years). Although, in this instance, the best option is still definitely "emblématique".

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
