French term or phrase: vigneraie

C'est le nom d'un restaurant. Je ne sais pas si je dois le traduire ou le laisser comme ça pour faire plus "classe". En plus tout ce que je trouve est "vineyard" et il me semble que cela ne correspond pas tout à fait.

C'est pour mes devoirs ;-)
Merci

English translation:leave as is

Explanation:
I would leave the name as is. The name of the restaurant is like a trademark. However, if it is essential for the meaning to be understood, put the translation in parentheses immediately following the name's first occurence in the text.

Grading comment

As the meaning is important, I'll keep the French name and put the translation in parentheses.

In that case, I think \"The Vineyard\" should be OK.

or may be \"The Vine\"...

"vigneraie"

Explanation:
Dejalo asi pero en Frances tambien es poco claro : suppongo que quiere decir que es "el lugar donde hayan "vignes" - pero bueno no te lo puedo garantizar...

Tengo un monton de diccionarios pero no lo encuentro - pero es obvio que significa "el lugar donde se encuentran vides"...

En fait tu as raison : C\'est plus \"classe\" de laisser en Français...
Surtout qu\'on ne peut pas le traduire :
\"endroit où il y a des vignes\" ça craint, comme on dit en Argot....
