facile à croquer

English translation: easy to sketch

French to English translations [PRO]
Religion / L�abbé Pierre
French term or phrase: facile à croquer
Evidemment, la cape noire, offerte par un pompier et qui dessinera durant des décennies, une silhouette familière, unique facile à « croquer ». Et aussi les croquenots impossibles, pour damer la neige, arpenter les sentiers humides, peser sur la terre ou le pavé glacé.

'Easy to draw', but then we lose the play on words with 'croquenots'.
