| | French translation:aller à la mer... | Explanation:
Loin de moi l'idée de contredire Tony mais, je pencherais plutôt pour aller à la mer... en ce sens que nous utilisons ce genre de phrases en pour signifier que nous pensons prendre quelques jours de vacance sans préciser exactement ce que l'on va faire...

Quoique je serais d'accord avec la suggestion de Tony: si par exemple j'avais un voilier je dirais probablement "prendre la mer, prendre du soleil et essayer quelques sports nautiques" |
