Answer

Bonjour Carrie !

The issue here is whether the Gold Coast is a city or a region, as in French it makes a difference.
Can you give me more details as to what is the Gold Coast exactly?

Merci !

Answer

Bonjour Aurélie,
Il y a deux «Gold Coast»:
1)  The Gold Coast was a British colony on the Gulf of Guinea in west Africa from 1867 to its independence as the nation of Ghana in 1957.
2)  The Gold Coast is a city in the Australian state of Queensland, approximately 66 kilometres (41 mi) south-southeast of the state capital Brisbane.
Alors,bonne journée.
